Since the begining I have been for McCain, but now this Palin?
Here is the problem I have with her.

She is a mother of five kids who does not have any experience what so ever, and God forbid McCain died while we are at war with TWO different countries.....How the hell is this woman gonna run the show????
No fucking way could this woman do that, no fucking way.

    Obama/Biden is looking pretty good to me....McCain lost all credibility with that desperation VP bid to Palin. No way she is ready to be president. Poor judgement by McCain, if he got that wrong what else would he blow?

    I don't want to wish bad things on McCain or Palin because despite their politics they don't seem like horrible people, but I'm hoping many people see through the ludicrousness of this VP pick and come to the same conclusion you did.

    You could vote for another candidate that isn't a Democrat (ie, a "third party candidate").

    The point of third-party candidates has been (for a while now) to continue to build support every election until there comes a time where they are serious contenders and the race becomes a 3-way. It's not throwing your vote away if you believe what the candidate stands for. Throwing your vote away would be not voting at all.

    Despite my Simpsons quote before, I agree. I would love to see more third-party candidates, and more diversity only makes things stronger, not weaker. My problem is with the prominent third-party candidates. Despite my strong distrust of candidates, I can't call myself a libertarian, and despite his good work in the past, I feel like Ralph Nader is only in races these days due to his own egotism. That's not something I can vote for. I need a candidate that inspires me.

    I think it definitely speaks to the choices he will make while filling out his cabinet. If he made a purely political move and appointed her for reasons other than her fitness to be a VP, what other bad appointments will he make? This is right up there with the silliest/most irresponsible of Bush appointments.

    I was voting Obama before this happened, for a lot of reasons. Now I'm really fucking afraid NOT to, for reasons I never imagined...lol.

    As an example, I would have voted for Ron Paul if he were still running.

    True, although his social positions (i.e. typically Republican) give me pause.

    I feel that I, and anyone else, should vote for who they think is the best candidate for President. I don't agree with anyone who states that people should vote for a third-party candidate, simply because they were third-party.

    As an aside, I must say that the Ron Paul campaign supporters that I met during my work for the Obama campaign were complete assholes. I worked during a time when both the Republican and Democratic nominations were still in flux, and there were campaigns working EVERYWHERE, jockeying for space and for signs, etc. Overall, everyone was respectful, even the Obama and Clinton campaigns (and this was when they were at the height of their antipathy). But Republicans, Democrats, everyone left well enough alone. Except the Ron Paul supporters. They'd go out in the middle of the night and pull up campaign signs and hide them, just so the other campaigns couldn't advertise. They'd send out misinformation about people's voting sites, hoping to get their own candidate higher numbers. I worked for two and a half weeks, and the Ron Paul campaign was completely fucking shady and shameless, and definetely turned me off of the campaign.

    Well I just said I'd vote for him. Anyone really involved in political campaigns:

    1) has a little extra free time on their hands
    2) really believes in their candidate, sometimes too zealously

    True, it was really just a story. I met more than my share of Obama and McCain assholes on my time working for the campaign also.

    Yeah... people can argue that Obama isn't ready, and it is true that he doesn't have a lot of experience. But, for the last 18 months during this ridiculously long campaign, he has surrounded him self with some very smart and experienced people, and his knowledge about all aspects of foreign policy, economics, etc., haa to have increased exponentially during this time. Palin on the other hand, up until Friday, has pretty much done next to nothing to get prepared for the VP.
