McCain Veep meltdown - he's unqualified to serve

August 29, 2008 by PamsHouseBlend

If the first decision a presidential candidate makes about who will succeed him/her in an emergency is an indication of overall judgment, John McCain is unelectable.

"But as for that VP talk all the time, I'll tell ya, I still can't answer that question until somebody answers for me, what is it exactly that the VP does every day?"
- former Miss Alaska runnerup Sarah Palin, 8/1/08, on CNBC, "Kudlow and Company"

Mayor of a tiny town, two years as governor, and she is a promising addition to the ticket if you want a...

-- Womb control advocate
-- an anti-LGBT activist
-- religious right fembot
-- creationist.

I am sorry, this is such a slam to women everywhere if McCain thinks the mere fact one has a vagina (and is a hottie in his book) is a qualification to run the country and "attract the women and youth vote". I don't want to hear one whit about the GOP slamming Hillary Clinton all during this campaign season.

I want to see how they spin this utterly absurd pick.

Highlights/lowlights of her record are below the fold.

So, as we wait for McCain's Veep choice...

UPDATE: 8:35 AM MT: CNN confirms that it's one-term Alaska Governor Palin. This will be fun. What a desperate Hail Mary.
