Can you imagine this place if Obama picked someone like Palin??

Can you imagine this place 100% supporting the VP like the GOP is? And being excited about them?

I think we would be bitching about the VP daily.

I know some people don't like it but I am glad we don't have blind support for idiots!

1. I remember during the primaries, a DUer actually suggested Obama pick Palin as his VP.

I shit you not.

2. what:? someone actually knew her name before McNasty picked her?

How random--how entirely random.

3. Yes. I think it was one of the covert Republican troll Hillary Supports, but he was a regular poster

4. thanks for giving me an excuse to say.....

..... every day I think the good Lord in Heaven that Barack selected Joe Biden as his VP choice. Definately the greatest VP of my lifetime, and I think you'd be hard pressed to find another that even comes close in American history.

And every time I look at Joe, I am reminded of just what a good "decider" we have and how superawesome he will be as president!

5. the only equivilent would be

if Kerry picked Obama to be his VP in 2004.

And that's no disrespect to Obama, but he wasn't ready to be handpicked to be VP. He earned the right to be president and put his name out there and took the scrutiny and beat some tough opponents.

Palin got airlifted out of Alaska and got thrown into a 5-week race for the white house.
