Reaction to watching the Palin introduction

That was pander-iffic. Maybe it'll work, who knows, but her entire speech didn't mention one issue. She didn't mention abortion or creationism or anything about foreign policy. Instead she promoted Democratic Party talking points.

She played up unionism. She talked about Ferraro and Clinton. She made McCain the mantle of change. Maybe it'll work, that's what scares me, but there's also a lot of room to fight back.

Obama needs to get out her position papers now and see how she fights back. Meanwhile the press is excited just because it makes a cool story. Who cares what this means for the future if it gets good ink?

So I'm both relieved and scared right now.

Watching that, I honestly could not believe that she was running for Vice President. She is not ready for the national stage.

Her speech was horrible and she came off as even more of an empty shell than her thin resume makes it out to be.

And I really understand now what Hillary's supporters were thinking when Sebelius was being considered. I mean, I thought Sebelius was much more qualified and its different.

But Sarah Palin? She talked about Hillary putting 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling and that now SHE would be the one breaking it? Give me a break! How insulting. I'm not a woman, but I think I would be insulted as a woman if she was the one to become the first female Vice President of the United States.

We've got them on the defensive. (none / 0)

Instead of giving the voters a choice between a Republican and a Democrat who acts like one, we've taken the ball firmly into our court... now it's a choice between a Democrat and a Republican who tries to sound like one.

Now let's make sure voters see the real John McCain and Sarah Palin, and vote for the real Democrats.

Is this pick ready to be President? No way. The thought is scary.

Very scary.

She gave reasons why McCain might be qualified to be President and Commander-in-Chief, but no one offered even the smallest reason why she would be qualified. We should all be clear on this, John McCain is older than dirt (ok, maybe not that old), and Sarah Palin would be taking his place should he kick the bucket.

Last night's speech really caught them off-guard. McCain says he made this pick yesterday morning, but I have my doubts. Obama and Biden are going to keep tying him to Bush and there is really no way around that. He can adopt the change mantle, but the Dems will push him about what type of change he'll bring. I'm going to guess the only thing he'll be able to come up with is the White House decor.

This administration is not sinking. This administration is soaring! If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on the Hindenburg!
