Palin was always first choice says Cindy McCain
Source: Penn The Patriot-News

Those reports that Gov. Sarah Palin was a last minute choice as John McCain's running mate? Not true says McCain's wife, Cindy, who visited the midstate Sunday as part of a three-day bus swing through Pennsylvania.

In an exclusive interview with The Patriot-News, Mrs. McCain said from the moment she and her husband first met Palin, months before the Republican convention, "it clicked."

Speaking following an afternoon rally at Gettysburg College, Mrs. McCain said Palin "was always at the top of the list."

"When we first met her months ago, it clicked for both of us at the same time," said Mrs. McCain, who also visited Mechanicsburg, City Island and York during her swing through the area.

As time went by, and the list of possible running mates continued to be reviewed, "We kept coming back to her," Mrs. McCain said. "She was definitely at the top."

And now my head hurts.




And "choice" is a weird-looking word when you write it our repeatedly.

4. WTF does she know about anything
When you're constantly in a state of drug induced nirvana nobody is really going to let you in on anything important. She really only has to be conscious long enough to sign the checks.

46. nope not the only one :D
my mind LIVES in the gutter. If Obama ever needs a gutter brain for some tv ads, here I am! I am very good at taking just about anything and making it nasty :P I swear every time McCain said "spread the wealth" I about died laughing!

Am I the only one that thinks McCain would look right at home in a trench coat with some lollipops at the edge of a playground? He just strikes me as a nasty old man, especially after that whole sticking his tongue out thing, eww.

7. There they go again...

I chose lying.”

Cindy McCain says they "kept going back to her" and she was "always the first choice", but Nicole Wallace has admitted that she didn't even know who the hell Palin was when she first met her on the morning of the announcement.

18. McCain himself said the same thing when he was on Letterman.
First choice.

I thought, "whaaa?"

It was pretty funny when Letterman asked him what were his reasons, and one of the reasons was that she "was the most popular governor in the country".

Well, she didn't become the "most popular" until after after she was picked, so i thought... "double whaaa?"

It shouldn't have been about who they clicked with. It should have been about who was best to lead this country if that scenario ever arose.

25. Unless she was at the National Governor's Association meeting…
when McCain first met Palin, Cindy's lying. Anyway, the idea that they "clicked" is no justification for picking a looney-toon for vp.

35. oh, so choice of a VP admittedly involved no thoughtful deliberation

Palin clicked with both John and Cindy, at the same time, and THAT'S how shallow and based on what sounds

like chemical attraction her appointment by the McCains was, is.

that clicking you heard when you met Palin was the sound of someone with a ballpoint pen nervously opening and closing it in the background.
