I mean, are they trying to lose this election on purpose?
If that clip comes out, that will destroy whatever cred she has left with independents and moderates.
I mean, Marbury v. Madison? Plessy v. Ferguson? Dred Scott? Brown v. Board of Education? Uh, Bush v. Gore?!?
That a candidate for the Vice President isn't curious or knowledgable enough to know of even one other major Supreme Court decision is shocking. She'd be the freaking President of the Senate, where Supreme Court Justices are confirmed -- and not know of any cases they've decided except for Roe?
McCain deserves everything coming to him because of his cynical and selfish desires.
Interestingly, while canvassing this past weekend, I ran into a member of the religious right (80-year old gentleman spouting Revelation, anti-abortion, and "ethics reform"), and he thinks Palin is the best of the four candidates*, a true reformer with firm religious values who will be the only one who can reform those corrupt anti-God Washington folks, just as she did in Alaska. Not only that, he said that McCain is the only possible leader "because WAR is coming," and it's all foretold in Revelations, which is the exact word of God. The way it's going, this type of voter may be represent the only base McCain will have left, if he keeps on as he's been doing.
Did you notice, he really seemed to want to pat Palin's knee there, when she answered for him, facing down Couric.
* Note: the gentleman was from New York, originally a Clinton supporter.
Couric: taken aback when McCain cuts off Palin (1:17)
McCain: masking a cringe when Palin says "hollerin' out a question" (1:35)
Palin: awkwardly smiling the entire time McCain is talking (0:52-1:30)
Priceless!
She is out of her league, and McCain's temperment is coming through as the 'grumpy old man" with shining colors.
So he allegedly "suspends" his campaign (although there is no evidence he actually did) to fly to Warshington (his pronounciation) to 'SAVE THE DAY' for this bailout mess, only he didn't. Then he blames Obama? Oh yeah, just the kind of leadership we need. Another clueless, dull-witted, lip-drooling Bush!
If it weren't for the entertainment value of this election, I'd be in tears!
