Sarah Palin.........?

[A Horse With No Name]

Clinton's approval rating when he left office was 65% according to his Wikipedia page. I dont think that counts as being hated. 19% on the other hand.....

Shows that 19% of us are delusional enough to still like W?

[Teh Ricer Civic!]

Recent Polls indicate Bush approval rating is 24% approve 66% disapprove.

Congress is about 15-17% approve, and 73-77% disapprove.

[Satty]

Even conservatives are starting to think Palin sucks.

When you're a Republican and you've lost Katherine Lopez, you've hit a new low.

well at most you only got to vote for 2 senators and 1 congressman so likely, you disapprove of the others.

Yup. Of course i hate my 2 senators, our congressman is alright though.

[Satty]

My congressman is a douchebag, its too bad he's a shoo-in for re-election.

Back to OP:

Q: What do I think of Sarah Palin?

A: She may have lost McCain the election.

[Intrepidation]

I can't wait for the VP debate, it's going to be hilarious.

[mustang84]

Yeah, the Veep debate is going to be good. I bet Palin pulls the "maverick" card at least once.

[ehaase]

I read on Andrew Sullivan's blog that Palin is doing horribly in the debate preparation and is clueless.

McCain should have picked either Tom Ridge or even his friend Joe Lieberman. I don't think Romney or Pawlenty would be much better than Palin.

The Veep debate will be comedy gold. Maybe it'll be adapted into a screen play.

Biden is tough, I know he is my U.S. Senator! It should be billed as the 1st State against the 50th State.

Biden doesn't even let facts get in his way of making a point. lol, 'cause you know, FDR got up there on television in 1929 and got us through the depression.

Ridge and Lieberman would have had the opposite effect on the party. Palin fired up the base, Ridge (pro-choice) and Lieberman (the only policy he and the Mickster have in common is the war, everything else, he's a Dem) would have caused a revolt in the party and the convention would have turned into a riot. Minneapolis would have been destroyed by all the religious gun humpers. Romney is worth like $300 million, Democrats would have had a field day if the Republican ticket owned 20 houses between them. Pawlenty is just as unknown and inexperienced as Palin, so you go with the "shock value" pick.

Personally I don't want to see anyone humiliated. But people should know their limitations, and Sarah Palin doesn't. She should have had the sense to accept the nomination for V-P because she doesn't know enough.

I think the base would still have supported McCain-Ridge, and Ridge is intelligent and experienced. As one co-worker told me a few weeks ago, "There are enough rednecks like me who will vote agains a black man whose middle name is Hussein."

[Satty]

Ridge would have also reinforced the Bush III argument and absolutely killed the "maverick" image that McCain wants to have.

Rednecks indeed. It's people like that that cause other countries to look down upon us.

Maureen Dowd had a good column a few weeks ago called "My Fair Veep." Sarah Palin even looks a little like Audrey Hepburn did in My Fair Lady.

Oh this should be easy for you. I will be visiting a tiny republic in two weeks that gained it's independence directly from the Roman Empire on September 3, 301. I fly their flag, in honor of my upcoming visit. They are not a member of the EU, but use the EURO as their national currency.

Hey PCS,

heading to San Marino ? The plant is down next week- a few from maintenance are working though. Rumor that second shift is getting cut in December.

Hoping some of that $25 billion finds its' way to Wilmington

I was a little miffed when Obama went with Biden, it seemed like an affront to his change message. A non-D.C. politician would have reinforced his message. Then McCain picked an outsider and I saw what could have been for Obama, and how brilliant the choice of Biden really was. Its almost as if Obama knew that in picking Biden, he would force McCain to make a "bold" choice, and that choice may have killed his chances.

Yes, but like many political myths, Dubya has done a pretty good job of debunking the notion that working in Washington somehow makes you more corrupt than being a politician in other venues.

Biden is probably the most qualified Senator in international relations. That is Obama's weakest area.

Plus, the worst they can smear him with is that he plagiarized some British politician's speech 20 years ago. I like that he talks too much and says what's on his mind. He's much more "straight talk" than McCain is these days.

[LosAngeles]

This thread is flirting with being the length of the Word Association post.

[Satty]

I agree Biden is great, if it hadn't been for that oops in 88, he may have been able to beat the first Bush and the second Bush would be doing coke in an ally behind a bar in Dallas right now instead of finishing up 8 years of ruining the world.

[trinacriabob]

You mean that affluent suburb of Los Angeles that bolts onto Pasadena and is called San Marino? Ma che bella bandiera. Dimmi perche la bandiera della Germania non e molto bella.

edit: If I were Ahmenijhad and was being asked to negotiate the cessation of building nuclear reactors by President McCain (shudder), I'd demand a public apology for his heartless joking about killing Iranian citizens before moving forward.

[deftonesfan867]

I'd bang her and sale the tapes...that's about it. She's worthy of the captain and his crew, but not my vote.

Apparently CBS has tapes from the Palin-Couric interview that are even less flattering, and they'll be shown this week before the debate. Linkypoo.

Yeeees, because when Ahmenijhad talks about killing every last Israeli citizen, he never jokes.
