McCain going to win because he picks a hot chick VP?

[gocolts 300]

She runs a state with a population smaller than Dayton, Ohio, and she's only been doing that for 24 months now. Before that, she was the mayor of a town with 8,500 people in it.

 

And you think that's experience?

 

Compared with BO, it is a tremendous amount of experience. Bo pails/pales in comparison to the VP candidate.

 

Somebody teach me something here. Texas, I know your a smart guy, help me out. I don't know which one to use. Fock, I spent 5 minutes on dictionary.com and still don't know which is the correct word to use in this.

Barrack's been too serving on the Senate Foriegn Relations Committee, The Senate Commitee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions, Senate Committee on Veteran's Affairs.

 

He's had better things to do than make snow angels and watch caribou fock while taking orders from Exxon and the NRA.

 

 

It's always seemed to me that having a job as a Governor is more similar to President. Senators have to think about pretty important stuff but you make decisions in the same vein and more as a Governor. Those decisions also tend to have more direct results effecting how you're regarded, which seems like a truer test of how well rounded someone is as a leader. That she has 80% approval in that environment must mean either there's discernible leadership qualities there, or Alaskans are a more unified lot than citizens of other states. If she were President, like GWB , the mistake would be regarding the whole country like her state.

 

Here's the environment you deal with if you're Gov. of Alaska.

 

Alaska is the largest and one of the least populated of the fifty states—extremes that create a unique government. Tied together by tiny airports and vast pipelines, the state features abundant natural resources and a remoteness that make it one of the last outposts of the United States, a role that Alaskans savor.

 

Themes of independence, dependence, and the search for sustainable economic development underly Alaskan politics. While independence and individualism are well-known attributes of Alaskans and their political process, their experience has also been colored by dependency. Alaska was the last region in the New World colonized by Westerners. It was not organized as a territory until 1912 and did not achieve statehood until 1959, evolving in only one generation from a territory with a weak government to a wealthy state with a powerful system of state and local government.

 

The ongoing pattern of federal control and Alaskans' sporadically virulent response to it are emblematic of the tensions between dependence on federal policies and the struggle for equal influence with the other forty-nine states.

Geographic barriers, impeding transportation and communication, have left Alaska's regions, communities, and people separated from one another and from the outside. Yet, as Alaska Politics and Government demonstrates, the ability to deal with Alaska's future challenges is found in the vibrant and resilient character of its land and its people.

 

She went from PTA member to city council member to Governor. If she goes from that to VP, it seems like people must see ingredients of a good leader in order for her to have done that.

 

As for being on committees, if state lawmakers in any way lend any insight into how national lawmakers operate, your staff can basically manage all the real work in that regard and brief you on your way. There are some committees that you need expertise to be considered for, but in a lot of others it's just an easy way to pad your resume. At the same time, personally I've never held a question of Obama's lack of experience against him, since we've had good leaders coming in without a lot of experience, and to me he's had a fair amount.

[IN$TANT REPAY 11]

How many times did Obama do Cocaine before he realized he didn't like it?

 

Obama and Palin mihgt be the same person -- both have zero experience , both are attractive people , both have a drug past , both great speakers. Obama better wins the tiebreaker on edjamuchatshun though. Then again Palin might trump on on the total hotness factor.

 

explain this one.....por favor.

Yeah, thank goodness Palin has years of solid gubernatorial experience to stand on.

I think you are right on the money naomi. I am a little surprised at how the libs are jumping all over this no experience deal when she is clearly more experienced than Obama. I know you hate me naomi(If you even know who I am), I just wanted to let you know that I think you are right on on this, among many other things you post(I agree with you a lot on here actually). I will leave you alone now.

I hope this isn't how you try and pick up girls in real life.

You would use "pales in comparison" in that sentence.

Thanks bro.

Unfortunately, I don't get to pick up girls in real life.

When she's taken risks that made her popularity drop (pushing self-sufficiency, AK takes the most federal aid of any state), and then was vindicated for it, and has 80% popularity in the end of it all...I think that shows she's capable of the job. One year less experience than Obama has had as a Senator ...though I personally don't hold the experience question against either of them.

Awww, I don't hate you. And yeah I know you or maybe more accurately OF you, in an internets way. Not sure why you'd think I hate you.

Cool. I must have you mixed up with a different geekette. Sorry about that.

Given how quickly she collapsed, it amazes me that she's still so influential. Within a month, I wouldn't even vote for McCain because she was the VP. Admittedly, I loved her at first just looking at her (:wub) and running down the list 'things she had done' and what she 'stood for' but once we found out she was retarded and knew absolutely nothing, I jumped ship. That she is still the face of the party is a scary thought.
