Start Packing Sarah

[QUINNSCOMMENTARY]

Track, Bristol, Willow, Piper, Trig; what’s in a name? Well those are the children of Sarah Palin so you have to give her credit for creativity.

Smart gamble or dumb move, who knows, but one thing is for sure, the lack of experience argument for Republicans is kaput. From city council, to mayor, to half term governor to a heart beat (a 72 year old heart) away from President, ah, not so much. But hey, the Democrats haven’t cornered the pandering to the masses technique.

Let’s see she is a woman, pro-life, pro-gun, pro drilling, conservative on spending, she is a woman – oh, I said that. How about she is a working woman who went back to work three days after giving birth, Did I miss anything, oh yes, she is young and good looking and I bet she knows how to operate a computer and iPod.

Well, all bases are covered, I’m sold. Hey Sarah, even though you have a few years to go any ideas on Social Security and Medicare? Joe asked me to ask you if you have ever been to Iraq.

McCain might have done just as well to have picked a guy named "Hillary." I think this was an incredibly dumb move. If anything, it's insulting to the Hillary supporters that McCain is hoping to woo. Palin is just being used in the same manner that Dan Quayle was used ... she was picked just to sweeten the ticket for the election, not for running the country.

ETA: what's disturbing to wonder, is how many more people like Palin is McCain going to hire? He only met her once! I can't imagine a more reckless gamble.

I'm not crazy about McCain's choice but the fact is she has more executive and governing experience than Obama and Biden combined. She was making executive decisions while Obiden was making speeches about how others should make decisions.

Her nickname in highschool was Sara Barracuda...sounds like one tough cookie.

In the case that something bad happened to one of the presidents...

Who do you feel more comfortable handing the management of two wars to ... Biden or Palin?

While experience was an issue, now the problem is age....McCain is 72. His father only lived to be 70. Life expectancy for U.S. males is 76.

You are talking to the wrong guy. I was talking to a 40 year old marathon runner one minute and unsuccessfully gave him CPR the next. Age is ony and issue to people who are grabbing at straws.

You understand that as you get older, the probabilities for death and dementia change?

Really! My family lives into their mid 90s with sharp minds. You may apply your ageism as you please.

Well, guess what ... McCain isn't in your family, His father didn't live past 70.

Reagan was showing signs of dementia at the end of his term. McCain is already showing some signs of senility. That's relevant to the job.

You avoided my question too. I think you know the self-professed "hockey mom" can't handle two wars as well as Biden could. Why else would you evade the question? You also know there's a real chance she might be called to do so. Acting like this is a non-issue is self-delusional.

You say McCain is showing signs of sinility. Are you and doctor and have you examined him?

I didn't avoid your question at all. Biden has spent his whole political carreer telling others what decisions they should make and voting with his party. The Governor has more experience making executive decisions in governing than Biden and Obama combined. Obama is full of opinions but he has never been in charge of anything.
