It will be interesting.

Well she has administration experience and therefore a record that one
can look at and then decide based on her record. My guess is that
people will hear a lot about her experience during this next week. If
she has done well, people will figure she will do well as president.
Hey lots of people think that Obama would make a good president, and
there is not much to base that on. Neither McCain, Biden, or Obama
have ever been anything but legislators.

It's all well and good to sit here and rationalize the reasons she is an
asset or a liability to McCain -- one way to look at her attributes is
that
there's something there for just about everyone to dislike <g> -- but the
public's reaction to her is likely to be mostly emotional, based on how
she
handles herself. There just isn't enough in her biography to do otherwise,
and based on the facts alone, she's as odd and unlikely a candidate for
major national office as Obama is.
Yabbut, the office of the VP has always been manned by second
stringers. Strong leaders don't settle for second fiddle.
In recent years the VP pick has been about backing and filling the vote in
preparation for the election, and little more. She might help, but I doubt
it. She has novelty value here on Day One; we'll have to see how she looks
two months from now.
Besides, how much pull do you think the President has any more?
Do you think Shrub wrote (or _thought_ about the content of) any of
his speeches in the past eight years?
It's about attitude. We vote for the person whose attitude we like -- that
is, most people do.
A moose hunter with a union card, she might be more automatically
acceptable
to lower-48 conservatives if the card she carried was from a Moose lodge
and
she shot union members.
You owe me a monitor and keyboard, you sumbish. Tea all OVER! (still
wiping away the tear from laughing so hard at that one.)
Did I ever tell you about my great uncle, whose sideline was skinning
horses? He lived in town and did it in his front yard, wearing a suit and
dress hat. That's the image I have of her with moose and unions. She's
skinning something in her front yard, all dressed up.
BTW, the story about my great uncle is not a joke. It happened around 1910 -
1920, in Greenland, New Hampshire.
