creationist, anti-choice, anti-environment, in the pockets of big oil, no real experience nationally let alone internationally, and who knows what else.
Is she good for McCain’s chances – no.
Is she good so McCain will lose – yes.
I chose no.
I think she’s bad news for McCain but we have to wait to see both how this plays out and how she does on the campaign trail.
It was a masterful stroke to stop all the positives that flowed from Obama’s speech last night as it totally changed the subject. I think as much for all the “Sarah who???” as for who she is or her gender.
Very popular in Alaska is like saying very popular in Rhode Island (most Democratic state) – it’s not necessarily a positive for a national race.
One good sign that she’s a bad choice – John Andrews thinks she’s a good choice. I think this plays to the fact that the wing-nuts appear to love her, and that means she won’t appeal to the middle.
Why? Because most voters don’t look past the surface. Unless Palin has her scandals hung around her neck they’ll see a bright, pretty (male or female that helps, it is an unfair world), female Governor. And the experience attack line is going to really hurt Democrats if we cannot off it soon.
First of all, hearing what Hillary Clinton had to say today tamed my rhetoric–at least for the moment. Sarah Palin being chosen by the Republican party says a lot about what this year is about. The fact that John McCain even considered picking her is a testament to the campaign that Hillary Clinton ran. Without her, there is no way she would be on the ticket. That being said, here is my second-take analysis on Sarah:
Joe Biden is very popular in Delaware. Extremely popular in fact. But that is not what makes him a qualified person, nor what makes him the right choice for Obama’s running mate.
Obama had the right way of selecting his VP. He chose someone who met all the tests: he is qualified to be president, he has run for president and is therefore at least somewhat experienced with campaigning on the national scale. Sarah Palin passes neither of these tests, and if McCain thought about it for more than 10 seconds, then maybe he would have chosen one of the dozen Republican women who were more qualified for this position than her.
