6 things the Palin pick says about McCain

[SB Shock]

Summary found in:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0808/12997.html

1. McCain is desperate. Private view of Democrats and Republicans is Obama is on his way to a electoral landslide.

2. McCain is willing to Gamble - bigtime McCain has a history of taking dares. Palin represents his biggest one yet.

3. He’s worried about the political implications of his age

4. He’s not worried about the actuarial implications of his age

5. He’s worried about his conservative base

6. At the end of the day, McCain is still McCain. People may find him a refreshing maverick or an erratic egotist. In either event, he marches to his own beat.

Am I the only who thinks shes kinda hot?

I haven't heard from anyone who didn't think she was attractive.

The Tina Fey, librarian up-do with glasses look just does it for me.

The fact she's smart and tough just makes her that much more attractive.

I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down shizzle.

Whoa. Down, boys. :whistle:
Um, I know that's what I look for in a VP.

The Vogue cover and other photo-ops are part of the reason why some of her native Alaskans have a problem with her. I found this in the comments section following an article in the Anchorage Daily News. This was just one example and the one that was well-written and not so antagonistic..

The governor is an enigma.

The governor is an enigma. Just when we think she's on a straight and narrow course, and, she seems to respect Alaskans, she's off to do another photo op, or national news show. There doesn't seem to be a manual about how a governor should behave while in office. Maybe we need one. Sure, she wants to be vice president and on the cover of major magazines, but, she seems too desperate for attention. She has forgotten that people deserve respect and honesty. Her recent decisions do not indicate an intelligent thought process. We need to see mature behavior and a willingness to put her feet to the grindstone and work hard for Alaska.
When politicians get caught up in how important they are to the world, they forget that we all walk on the same grass. I'm really hating that she created this situation, but, she did and blaming anyone else for it is foolish. Nor should we go about changing our laws because of it.
She has done so well in so many ways. She needs to start over and prove that she can be a strong leader and capable person. Working in-state is a good start and keeping out of the national spotlight is better.

I think it's very interesting that the date was July 29, 2008, and yet there is the notion that even then, someone believed that she wanted to be VP. Hmmm.


If we're still talking about looks, though, her hubby is a hot tamale!!!

From what I could tell her popularity with Alaskans run around 75-85%.

SB,

Are you serious? What is the ratio of the Alaska population - male to female- again? Have you never heard of the effort in that state to entice women to move there (eligible bachelor pin-up calendars, mail-order bride advertisements, etc.)? I don't mean for this to sound sexist in any way, but, if the comments in this forum are in any way indicative of the male mindset, then the reason for her high approval rating in Alaska appears to me to be a no-brainer.
By the way, I am NOT a flaming feminist; I'm a tomboy. I love men (generally speaking) and I love sports. Just don't try to BS me.

Also: I'm heterosexual and married, but I'm not dead! I can appreciate admirable qualities in both sexes and I am not afraid it will threaten or define who I am as a person. I would like to believe that I would never make a decision, as important as this one is, based on anything superficial.
But, then again, I haven't heard a candidate, yet, who has a voice like Sam Elliott's, so what do I know? :D
