As long as we stay focued on the issues, we should be fine

It defintely destroys their inexperience argument

but nothing should be underestimated

4. Sorry. No one is going to vote a soccer mom with next to no experience in to the VP office.
This destroys his chances.

It's almost like he is paving Obama/Biden's way in to the office.

12. I don't disagree when you look at it practically. I would want someone
with excellent foreign policy experience as VP, than one without experience

6. Soccer mom qualifies as President?
Edited on Fri Aug-29-08 09:40 AM by PolNewf
Seriously, I think this makes George H.W. Bush's choice look good.

18 months experience as Gov of the smallest state.
Previous experience on City Council of Town with population ~5000.
It is not unlikely John McCain could die in the next 4 years, he is 72 freaking years old. US male life expectency is 75.29 years.

This is an incompetent choice. Not only takes away McCain's only current argument against Obama but also destroys his percieved judgement.

11. Why?
Joe Biden is a great family man, who was devoted to his young sons when they lost their mother. He made sure his family didn't come second for anything.

15. most people never heard of her
and will have no clue still when they cast their vote in November. This VP pick helps him not at all because I doubt half the people will even know the VP is a she.
