Are you kidding – there was no chance that Mondale was going to get elected no matter what he did. He only won one state! Reagan smoked him – had nothing to do with VPs.

Yes, the US is ready. A person from the UK left a comment on my blog that if the US doesn’t want Palin, they’ll take her!

I’m very happy with this pick, and I would be comfortable with her as a President given the alternate. I always wanted a governor for president this cycle, because of the type of challenges that we face.

Her oldest son’s in the military, which helps. She’s worked actual manual labor; she’s got more ties to the working class than any prominent Dem I can think of. Her husband is still working fishing/oil rigs. I’m ecstatic that we have someone who is middle/working class anywhere near the White House.

Even IF McCain were to drop dead on inauguration eve, I feel this woman could handle the job and then some. She has more executive experience than Obama and none of the socialist baggage.
(At least we put the person with the smaller resume on the BOTTOM of the ticket. If Obama won, we’d have to hope for him to have a coronary to put the man with tenure in the oval office.)

I would be ready for a female VP if that female had experience and wasn’t a far right anti-womens issues female!

Seriously – if McCain – who has had multiple bouts with cancer, and just turned 72, and has lasting physical problems from his POW days – actually makes it to the WH, and then keels over…..do you want THIS woman in charge? I sure as heck don’t!

She may look good, and may get him a few women voters, but I don’t think she has enough substance to make a difference.

GO OBAMA!!

Sorry, kiddo, it was her policies, and his. Also the fact that her husband was just a little tiny bit bent.

Mondale wasn’t sunk because Geraldine Ferraro was a woman. Mondale was sunk because the woman he chose for a running mate was Geraldine Ferraro.

This is just like the fact that if Obama loses, it won’t be because he’s black. It will be because the black man who is running for President is Barack Obama.
