Now take a walk with me on this one...Its all about Judgement
The fact that John McCain is 72 today, and he has picked a totally unprepared person to be president in case of anything that could happen, when you are 72, strokes, heart disease, etc, well the odds are just there..

Now Obama as his first real executive decision chose Joe Biden, who has a whirl wind of foreign policy experience... It just does not get any better. We are conducting two wars, and the Russia and Iran conflicts are heating up.

And McCain's first executive decision, a first term governor, who has not even had the benefit of the primaries to get policy under her belt. He with his age and age related health issues are much more problematic.

This was McCain's first executive decision, and he failed miserably. What a mess we will be in if he gets elected. That in an of itself should get us all moving on the attack on his poor judgment

job is to break Senate tie-votes and be ready to step in if the Prez dies (which, clearly, she's not). Obama said he wanted someone to help him govern, because the problems we face are too big for just one person. Who has the wisdom and the judgment?

2. It really will be more of the same, right?
Just a continuation of Bush-like picking of incompetent people.

5. This VP choice of McCains just caps the poor judgement he has
exhibited all along in his piddling career. The man is clearly not equipped to make good judgements. God help the US if he should get the WH.

8. I don't think he made this choice--I really don't. He was put up to this.

9. This is why we have to highlight that
If you cannot even choose a qualified replacement in case of emergency, how in the world will he be able to handle the hot button issues that face us.

10. I wonder what those sexist talking heads are saying
I can't stand to listen to them, but from rush to hannity, they are the most demeaning group of goons,when it comes to women. And now they have to promote someone who is totally unqualified for this space, and swallow their spit.
