Well, it looks like McCain has picked himself another Dan Quayle.

The bad news is that George Senior won the 1988 election after picking the unknown Dan Quayle.

Palin's credentials, views, biases, and dogma, make her a fully acceptable representative of Christian fundamentalists,

Can the wingnuts "win" it or can the thugs steal it again?

Yeah, they are fully capable of stealing it. But who knows? Given my personal opinion of the intelligence of American voters, they might just win it. I suppose that, if this comes about, there is no more powerful force in the world than the stupidity of the American voter.

1. Palin is worse than Quayle.

Way worse. This election is over. I'm packing it in.

2. Dan Quayle was vice president.

4. Yes, I know that Mister Potatoe Head was the Vice President.

Im sorry, but I don't get your point.

5. My point is, everyone is saying she's McCain's Dan Quayle

Well, Dan Quayle GOT ELECTED. Being Dan Quayle doesn't mean she's easy to beat. We have to win votes, and the media is already working overtime to make her look like she's the best candidate there is. There's a bunch of people buying it too. It doesn't amtter one flying fuck how much experience she doesn't have; the only thing that matters is that people will vote for her.

6. You're right, EstimatedProphet. Sorry I missed it the first time.

3. Beware the Hudsucker Proxy

even though she's a real dope, she may become an effective dope

[JCMach1]

7. Sorry, but I knew Dan Quayle... and sir, she is no Dan Quayle

She's something much worse.

8. Unfortunately, having GWB in the White House has lowered the bar considerably.

A lot of Americans could look at the last 8 years and say, "Heck, if George Bush could do it, anybody can."

9. Dan Quayle served 8 years in congress...Palin served 1 1/2 years as governor

Worst VP pick ever.
