New book out called Game Change. They talked about it on 60 minutes
last night. They also interviewed John McCain's staffer who was
responsible for picking Sarah Palin for VP. Seems they were set to
pick Joe Lieberman but their internal polling showed he would not be
acceptable to republicans so they picked Palin at the last minute.
They found her by Googling for female political candidates.

What the book and the interview show is that Palin was completely
ignorant about just about everything. They were cramming her on a
daily basis because she knew nothing about national issues or
policies. For the Palin supporters, this should explain why so many
people are critical of her. Ever since her name was mentioned for VP,
it was said she didn't have the ability to do the job. Now we have
information from the horses mouth, so to speak, that she really didn't
know anything and wasn't competent for that job.

But when she was asked if the intense attention that would come with
being the nominee for VP would be too much for her she said that it
wouldn't. Her reason for that she said was that it was God who wanted
her to be the nominee. We dodged a close one, folks. Like they say,
imagine her a heartbeat away from the presidency.

She sure draws the bile out of the Democrats! Is she a Red Herring just
to draw attention? Is she wonderful entertainment for those that love
to see the liberals have nippy-fits? Now she has a gig with Fox...talk
about red meat!

So, do you feel good about Biden being a heartbeat away? Now, THAT
would be pure entertainment! Did Obama pick him as life insurance?


Biden, or should I say in Palin's term O'biden, is well qualified to be
the president. I don't think any rational person would argue he isn't?
The problem is Palin, she's not qualified. Don't believe me, fine. Go to
You Tube and watch McCain's campaign manager Steve Schmidt's interview
on 60 Minutes where he said she was both a liar and didn't know jack
****. How they had long cram sessions to try to teach her about the
things she didn't know the first thing about. We just had a president
who didn't have the tools to do the job. Palin makes Bush look like a
brilliant guy. Maybe the thought of someone far less capable than Bush
being president doesn't worry you but it does most people. I guess you
just can't imagine the damage a bad president could do to you. We'd
rather avoid a disaster instead of having to deal with one. Palin's
great for being a Fox News talking head, no problem with that. Being in
a position of power. No way, Jose'.
