    clever pandering to her electorate? c’mon, give the girl one week before ripping her…

    Picking her is a mad gamble which probably won’t work for McCain, but let’s face it he’s got nothing to lose….

    She’s hilariously dumb. A 16 year old Politics student would realise in advance that making this sort of comment would only hurt you in the future if you eventually became VP.

    What isn’t so hilarious is how a lady this dumb could realistically be Commander-in-Chief when McCain croaks. What a lot of people don’t realise (and the media isn’t discussing this) is that McCain doesn’t need to croak for Palin to take over. If McCain has to be in hospital for a few weeks to get yet another melanoma cut out or if he has a non-fatal heart attack or if his old bones snap, Palin takes control over the most powerful military the world has ever seen.

    “Fighting for Alaskan independence to Commander-in-Chief of NATO for WW3″ - the Sarah Palin story.

    response to pesky: with all due respect “pesky”, please don’t contradict yourself. the fact he has nothing to lose is why this is a good gamble - he needed to take a chance by not going for the “safe option”; OK, if he went for a wildcard who was a donkey, that would be a mad gamble. but he did not, he went for Sarah.

    response to jonny: Reagan was elected as C-in-C - with hindsight, no-one of IQ64+ complains about Reagan. In the unlikely event Sarah is taking the 3.00AM phone call, it won’t be just Sarah and Bristol conferencing re what to do - there will be a couple of other wise counsellors around the table. And I see no evidence Sarah is incapable of pulling the right trigger, or less likely than 80% of USA past presidents. Despite the hype about the risk of having the wrong C-i-C, how often in last 50 years has there been a specific example of the USA C-i-C making a ridiculous blunder of consequence? Did JFK err re Vietnam? (a matter of opinion…). Did Carter err re hostages? Did Clinton err re Monica? (oops - strike that one). It just don’t happen - the putative blunders by USA presidents have occurred with equal frequency from the best to the worst. The institution that is the USA Govt would come close to working just as well whether Mickey Mouse was President or Bill Clinton. The good ones add a bit, the bad ones subtract a bit. And anyway,she’s only running for the Quayle spot - lets not get caught up in the whatifs of McCain falling off the twig. Shit, I might have to stop re-raising quads in case my opponent has a straight flush…… Summary (a) Sarah will 98% of time never have finger on trigger (b) if the 2% occurs, I see no evidence we should be concerned as measured against 85% of the fingers previously on said trigger.
