I couldn't believe this when I read it.
"Generally, John McCain's choice of Palin earns slightly better reviews than Barack Obama's choice of Joe Biden."

Are you kidding me? Who has this empty suit nobody been well-received by? The easily-impressed idiot douchebags in the media?

This woman is easily the worst VP pick in 30 years, maybe more. Her biggest political experience is running a state with less than 700000 people for less than two years. The mayors of San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and so on are more qualified to be Vice President than this zero.

What the fuck is the matter with people? Ugh.

1. just have patience
in a few weeks, once the initial honeymoon is over, folks will realize the absurdity of the whole Palin thing, methinks. Biden was an excellent choice, Palin - no so much

2. It's simple.
People like Palin because she is charismatic. We hate her because we can see through her, but half the country doesn't have the intelligence to question what she is actually saying. The media is much more critical of her than the average American. It just hasn't had an effect. Yet.

3. Exactly right....
For those not too inclined to read people correctly, she comes across as quite average - just like Dubya, he was the guy everyone wanted to have a beer with, they could relate to him... well how did that work out?

And for the record I wouldn't mind having a beer with Obama as we talked policy LOL...

6. the truth is there were a lot of HRC supporters who initially were unhappy because she was
not chosen, but I believe most have accepted it now.
