Obama's campaign has been horribly mismanaged so far...He should be well ahead and yet...

I always go with what the Beard recommends too.

It tells you everything you need to know about a site when they choose to include something so trivial and meaningless.

I suppose Pinochet said the same for Nixon.

Well, McCain's VP is apparently the female governor of Alaska...anyone willing to bet that flocks of disillusioned Clinton supporters will now certainly vote Republican, the ticket's ultra-conservative leanings notwithstanding?

I'll bet that's exactly what republican strategists are banking on.

Nice to know how much they think of the intelligence of the American voter.

this is what I was thinking as well... it's pretty smart (unfortunately) and just might work.

I think it's a great choice, she's truly someone with experience we can count on.

They will. This sickens me. I can promise you there will be women out there that abandon their political leanings just to see someone with a vagina inside the oval office. My mother, for one.

Really, how much can the GOP disrespect the integrity of American intelligence?

the fact that she is some what attractive may work against her... lot of the Hilary fans may allow their jealousy to get the better of them.

This election has become a realty show... it's pathetic.

Well, the fact that the ploy will probably work testifies to the immense ignorance of the American public (and the GOP's willingness to exploit that ignorance).

That's the real tragedy here. This is beyond mere image. These so-called progressive women would rather have an ultraconservative female than a progressive male.
