Mccain never met Palin???

[akhenaten]

Is it true that Mccain had not ever met Palin before she came up as a possible VP nominee??

 

[marybet]

I heard that they met once. It's was a desperate move, a political stunt. They have the headlines now but when we really get to know her I think McCain will have buyers remorse.

 

[Planogirl]

I heard that on the radio... I hope it's untrue because that's just plain weird.

 

[akhenaten]

interesting..........

this is sure a fascinating election!!

i miss tim russert.........

likely just an attempt to get female voters who had been leaning towards Clinton and didn't want Obama.

They said on the news tonight that McCain didn't feel any of the other front runners were qualified enough.

How could he really say that with a straight face ....she seems least qualified to me.

Bringing her in just throws out the "Obama has no experience" card, haha. I read the news story about 4 times to make sure it wasn't a joke.

How can you say that she is less qualified then Obama?? She has two years of exective experience sp?? Obama has no exective experience. For most of his time in Congress he was running for president.

What upsets me... heck, insults me...

If we are to believe that McCain chose a female running-mate to "capture" the Hilary supporters (specifically, women) - how insulting is that to women? Do they honestly believe that any signifigant number of women will change their vote SIMPLY to vote for a woman??

And (in my best Chandler Bing voice) .... could she BE any more different than Hillary?? I'm hearing on the news that she's an NRA member and her "favorite meat" is moose. She believes that global warming in NOT cause by human factors.

Huh?

But see thats whats so ironic. McCains campaign has been all about inexperience yet he he chooses her over, Romney, Lieberman, Pawley and shoot, can't remember the other one. How can he say none of them are qualified yet she is.

Bush had executive experience........ lots of good that did.....

Obama has a law degree as opposed to a communications degree and a stint as a sports reporter..........

not to mention the fantastic campaign he has overseen.........

I like to call her the Anti- Hillary..... her views are pretty much opposite everything Hillary has stood for......

Yeah, I find that rather insulting myself.

Umm, there were two threads here in the last couple of days pontificating about McCain's choice where the republican's on the thread pretty much said they hoped McCain picked a woman to get the Hillary voters.

Oh PLEASE..... Two years handling all that mayhem in Alaska.
Even an Alaska poster has stated that the biggest decision would be if they sent the town drunk home what would they do for entertainment.
If you want to be PURELY TECHNICAL.
McCain has no executive experience and Monica Lewinsky does.


This was a two part ploy to attempt to woo disgruntled Hillary supporters and to get some cash donations from the far right.
