When the "white male centric" Republicans pick a woman as a VP, you know they're desperate.

I don't know anything about her. She's probably qualified.

But the old boy's club wouldn't do that unless their backs were against the wall.

Hmmmm, a devious ploy to steal some of the sour Hillary fans votes?

We're not sour, we're just dissapointed in the Democratic Party and their anti-women ideology.

Us Hillary fans will now support the McCain-Palin ticket. Hear hear.

If Hillary Clinton voters choose McCain/Palin in the hopes that Palin will become president, then they are voting for a woman and not a cause. If that's true, fuck them and fuck their votes. Sarah Palin is not just a woman, but also a Republican with conservative values. Clinton is a Democrat with centrist to liberal values. Why on earth would someone use their right to vote just to prove a point about gender roles? I know this country moved from ideas to appearances in looking for a leader, but has it gone a step further and simply been placed at gender, race or age? What's next? We may as well vote for someone completely at random. Just walk into the booth with a blindfold on, then grasp for any lever you can find and vote. It's a free-for-all!

hmm, I think we sometimes forget that the VP doesn't matter all that much. They don't exactly play a pivotal role in government functions. How much of an impact they have is conditional on the President they serve.

VPILF. But not one I'd vote for

True, except for the fact that when something happens to the president, the VP is next in charge.

But nothing's going to happen to a 71-year-old with four encounters with cancer, eh?

Qualified? Sure, if you think two years as governor and two terms as mayor of bum-fuck nowhere count as qualified.

My thoughts (as an Alaskan) are here.

Regarding Sarah Palin, I think Andrew Sullivan has it best.

This is why he is my favorite conservative commentator.
