This whole Palin selection has been surreal. Anyone else thinking they're just dreaming this??

1. It's surreal and ironic

given those celebrity ads McCain ran

[populistdriven]

2. Its as real as this american flag

[Island Blue]

3. I think we all woke up this morning trapped in a SNL skit.

[Unsane]

4. yeppers

[Beregond2]

5. It's a happy dream, because it is the end of the Republicans for at least eight years.

6. my husband thinks McCain has really lost it

I think McCain's advisors have a 3 part strategy - throw a bone to the fundy base, reinforce some sort of "reforn image" since she is known as a Rep reformer (whatever that really means) and try to poach more conservative blue-collar voters from Obama, particularly women.


It's rather Rovian in it's scope, I think.


But what confuses me is her lack of experience, and the weird mesh with having Giuliani as one of the main speakers at the convention - it seems like the are trying to have it all ways...

7. We've fallen through the rift and into ONION WORLD

where The Onion is the paper of record and the New York Times prints only satire.

8. Watching her prattle on about her experience with the PTA this morning was surreal.

A major American political party's nominee for V.P. boasting about her high school basketball prowess and PTA bona fides made me laugh out loud...nervously.

9. It reminds me of a bad movie

A presidential nominee picks someone as a joke or to fulfill a bet or something, and then it turns out Americans really are stupid and LIKE corrupt unqualified dumbass VPs...

Nah, in reality, I think McCain has made a huge blunder.

[KingFlorez]

10. It makes no sense to me

I know McCain had motivation, but the pick still seems just odd.

[XemaSab]

11. It seems like a really cheesy movie

Like, wouldn't it be totally kewl if, like, a kid became president, and like, just had a big ice cream party for all the grumpy old senators and the kid's totally adorable dog, and at the end they, like, all got together and saved the school? :crazy:

[skooooo]

12. it's like a total mindf*ck imo

[Neshanic]

13. I wish to God I was. This could of been a bad movie.
