G’d point… although if any of MY local politicians said “I want to work with children” there would be some serious questions before tea.

according to an exit poll, the two biggest problems people had with mccain were, in order, Palin and McCain’s age. So you are correct.

Dashes (or double hyphens) are useful for when there is a rapid change of topic — by the way, I love the caption. Points of ellipses signify when material has been deleted in a quote… or otherwise show a long pause… like this.

Actually it’s been said that John McCain has always wanted the Presidency because that is one way he would be able to one up his father and grandfather, since he couldn’t do it at the naval academy or during his service.

DaffySaffy, Palin wasn’t known to the majority of the U.S. until her selection as VP candidate. Nor was she a key figure in the Republican party. She was picked because she was a popular governor for Alaska and was seen by many Alaskans as combating corruption (which was rife in Alaskan government). That popularity has fallen – she may not get another term as governor. I have friends in Alaska who originally voted for her a couple of years ago and have sworn that they wouldn’t vote for her for dog catcher after this, since they feel (and I agree) that her true colors have been revealed.

Plus she appeals to what is considered as the Republican base – evangelical Christians who are afraid of anyone who doesn’t look like them. There is also talk that she was picked to try to appeal to the Hillary Clinton supporters who didn’t like Barack Obama – apparently they thought any woman would do. They were wrong.

mothergoose is right: McCain lost McCain’s campaign. In the end, he’s the one who could have said yes or no to the VP candidate, despite the pressure from the GOP.

I may not be a political genius, but I work in Washington’s state capitol building, and have heard waaayyy too many people mention that the only reason he chose her is because one woman was already taken out of the race *Hillary*, and before that, Dems had two political ‘minorities’, a black AND a female *=epic win for them*, so McCain chose a woman to play to all the voters dying to elect a female. I am not one to criticize, but I think there was a resounding, “WTF why didn’t you do any research” from all the GOP when he chose her. I do not hate her, and I’m a Republican, but really, one would think that between the two of them, she could have done some reading, and he could have had his minions do some research into her ideals and manymanymany Ditzerella moments.

DaffySaffy — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:19:48 +0000

TBH, I got the impression that McCain didn’t expect to win the nomination, and wasn’t really keen on winning the election. It was the only reason I could think of for his choosing Palin as a running mate. Unless she’s really well-known in the US and a key figure in the Republican party and I’m just working off a fraction of the full picture?

I think Obama should legally change his name from ‘Hussein” to “Epicwin”.

and then a good number of them realized quick “whoops, that was a mistake” and requested a re-pick, though by that point it was too late.

I think McCain cost McCain the election. If he was the one making the decisions, then he showed poor judgement by picking her as a running mate. If he wasn’t the one making the decisions, then he showed even poorer judgement surrounding himself with the people who chose her for him.

By: jules

I hope not. I firmly believe she lost McCain the election.

Like what? That fiscal responsibility starts with the budget? That foreign policy starts with diplomacy? That companies making unprecedented profits while screwing Americans out of jobs and pensions do not deserve hundreds of millions of $ in tax breaks. That someone who has worked their whole life and payed into a system that said it would take care of them when they needed it would uphold that promise.
Honestly, What do you THINK he thinks like?
