If Obama had chosen Hillary as his VP

[npk]

I wonder if McCain would have still chosen Palin. I just wonder if he would have put Palin on the ticket knowing she would be compared to Hillary on a daily basis.

2. Palin was solely chosen because to the GOP Hillary was nothing more than a Vagina..and theyre happy

To them they think that it only takes a woman to be on the ticket to fight Obama which isnt true at all...Hillary just happened to be a woman...the biggest thing going for Hillary is that she was famous (former first lady). That is what made her have an edge...granted there were women going for her because as they said "she is a woman and it would be nice to have a woman in the wihte house" but for me that is not what i was looking at...i considered her just another democrat, just famous.

Sadly the Republicans see it solely as her being a woman and nothing more. The media sees it the same way because to them they see Palin as Hillary and it makes the story more exciting..especially now that she comes across thru her fabricated speech as a fireball (like Hillary which the gop is hoping will draw Hillary supporters to them since they are trying to make her out to be hillary).

3. I'm thinking that Palin's nomination was an attempt

to CAPITALIZE on Hillary's absence from the ticket. It certainly is no accident that the announcement of her getting the nod came shortly after several attempts by the McCain camp to draw in disgruntled Hillary supporters with some very targeted advertising.

6. Please give it a rest. Palin pales in comparison to Senator Clinton ...

For crying out loud, Senator Clinton is a million times more sophisticated than that Palin woman! The Primaries are over. No ifs, and and buts.

I sure would have loved Senator Clinton to be on the ticket but Senator Biden works for me.

People, the primaries have long gone, let's concentrate on winning this time around. Another four years of Bush will cripple America and the world.

7. Nope. Would have been Karl Rove's second choice, Bobby Jindal. n/t
