GOP Has Buyer’s Remorse
Tweet
Oh noes, they’ve got the wrong candidate at the top of the ticket!
“She’s the draw for a lot of people,” said Marilyn Ryman, who came to see her at the Colorado rally inside an airport hangar. “The fact that she’s someone new, not the old everything we’ve seen before.”
Of course, when you think old everything, you think… John McCain. He was a POW, you know?

But if she’s such a great pick, why is she being hidden from the press? Why not even just a _single_ interview so she can tell us how awesome she is?

IMO, Palin secures the base for McCain but doesn’t bring swing voters in any substantive numbers. It might work, but personally I’m really confused now. Is the GOP for or against unwed teenagers getting pregnant? I mean, if Palin wants to legislate the criminalization of abortion and sex ed (i.e., “abstinence only”), don’t the American people have a right to know her thoughts on the issue of, say, parenting? Isn’t this the party that lectures us daily about how parents need to raise their children to be chaste and moral?
It’s a house of cards. A weird, tacky house of cards at that.

Nah, we’re pretty patient. We’ll let her be VP, help the Old Guy reform government, build up some experience, and then she can run against Hillary in 2012.
Sounds like a plan.
Uhh, why wouldn’t the “Old Guy” be running for re-election in 2012?
“Reform government”…awesome. And I almost went the whole day without laughing out loud.
“…build up some experience…”
Imagine the howls of a laughter from conservatives if a liberal said that a Democratic presidential candidate would use the VP job to “build up some experience”. Also, how do you know that Hillary will be the Democratic presidential nominee in 2012, or that she will even run again at all?
“Sounds like a plan.”
Sounds like a fantasy.
McCain’s too old to expect to be alive for another eight years, says a Republican?
Hmm, might want to work on your talking points there buddy.
Nah, we’re pretty patient. We’ll let her be VP, help the Old Guy reform government, build up some experience, and then she can run against Hillary in 2012.
Sounds like a good plan to me, and McCain is the kind of guy who might be willing to step aside and let Sarah deconstruct Hillary into “a million little pieces,” in 2012 like the fraud that was on Oprah’s brain-dead show. Being on Oprah is like a circus animal anyway. Too bad Sarah can’t jump up and down on Oprah’s couch, but the black bigot’ll probably have the Obamanable Showman back.
After they go their separate ways it will be funny to hear the McCain campaign try to explain why Palin events outdraw the old man. You know thousands of starstruck wingnuts will show up at her events. His not so much.
Obviously Palin will be on all the Sunday talk shows this week, to demonstrate her firm grasp of foreign policy and economic issues. Or maybe not.
Nah, we’re pretty patient.
Because being ready on Day One is overrated.
You want the president to be physically and mentally capable of the job from the start? What are you, some kind of arugula nibbling elitist?
“what is a Democrat like me doing tutoring a VP candidate on foreign policy?”-Joe Lieberman
You must be kidding .. the VP is always the more powerful position .. look at Cheney.
No worries–the campaign is graciously allowing Ms Palin to be interviewed on ABC by Charlie Gibson…no doubt to expound on important issues like where she gets her hair done, why she thinks Obama hates America, and the most important question of all–Pearle Vision or Lenscrafters?

I don’t think so. They are just getting started. If you want to see some slightly older interviews go here http://kimberlymorrow.typepad.com/painless_money_saving_tip/2008/09/sarah-palin-on-energy.html
To the person who said BS about her not granting interviews… Actually she will be doing an interview with ABC shortly.
“But if she’s such a great pick, why is she being hidden from the press? Why not even just a _single_ interview so she can tell us how awesome she is?”
Hey, Jaim -
Two things for you:
Like Matthew said – she’s doing a sit down interview with ABC News shortly.
And, when you take into consideration how the so-called non-biased media has treated her so far, why in the world would she talk to any of them? Because they’ll give her a fair shake?
Yeah, right.
