Um.
Ok.
Do you think that Palin was referring to the coal workers in WV back in the 20s when SHE was talking about "redneck"...or more of the more modern JEFF FOXWORTHY meaning of the term?
What do you really think...if you had to guess about it?

| Posted 9/3/2008 7:29 AM (GMT -6) | | | What happened to Senator Olympia Snow as a choice? As I've been looking at her record, it seems that CNN correspondents were right. She would have been WAY more qualified than Palin. I was left scratching my head whenever I saw Senator Snow graciously commenting on the choice of Palin in the RNC aftermath.

Don't know if she's the best or not. Really. I probably would have picked Pawlenty.
Oh, yeah. Did you hear about the Freudian slip of a lifetime?
Is there a Pawlenty on the ticket after all?
Is there a Pawlenty on the ticket after all?
Republican National Committee co-chair Jo Ann Davidson gave an early, opening speech talking about the significance of women in the party. It was at the party's 1892 convention, also in Minnesota, when two female delegates were seated for the first time.
"How fitting," she said, to be back in Minnesota as we nominate "Sarah Pawlenty, our next vice president."
The crowd went wild. She got it right on a subsequent reference: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

| Posted 9/3/2008 7:43 AM (GMT -6) | | I hear ya. But will you agree with me that, as even KARL ROVE hinted, this was much more a POLITICALLY ADVANTAGEOUS choice than a truly GOVERNMENTAL one.
What does that say?

15 minute conversation before VP nod.
Didn't find out about the pregnancy until a private conversation last week, not the "vetting" process.

I know you to be a VERY conscientious person who really likes things done diligently and well, ESPECIALLY in important issues like these. I would actually AGREE with Tom on the "McCain/FORD" idea in that way. Do you really feel that McCain did all due diligence in this choice...especially with him being 72 years old (a concern that earlier in the year, McCain HIMSELF brought up)? I've been dying to know how you feel about all this.

I'm fully convinced that especially the trooper thing was vetted.
Interesting. How have you have been convinced of this? What convinced you?
(And you've listened to those played Palin case tapes I posted, right?)

The trooper allegations have been very public, at least in Alaska. I absolutely don't believe this was a surprise; I don't see how it's possible to NOT know about this.
I don't think McCain knew about this before he chose her. I really, really don't. I cannot imagine him listening to those tapes and CONTINUING to choose her over Pawlenty or even Snow.
I just can't see it.

| Posted 9/3/2008 8:13 AM (GMT -6) | | Yeah... I hear ya. Like I said, I probably would have picked Pawlenty instead. But McCain's "a maverick"... I think he simply made his final choice based on some personal instinct, although not blindly.
At the end of the day, it's his choice how he responds to the vetting. And that may speak to the more serious issues of his judgement and how he would handle decisions in office. But I still assume he was adequately informed of the issues before he made his decision. | | Back to Top | | |

Absolutely. The pick was all about strategy to win the election, not necessarily who would be most fit for governing.
I think that it's interesting that McCain accused Obama of being more interested in "winning an election" and not "winning a war" on the subject of Iraq, and now chose Palin, which I see him being more interested in "winning an election" instead of "protecting the country".
Irony? | | Back to Top | | |
