Why? Because of Sarah Palin. They didn't want her to be so close to the presidency. It makes me wonder how many votes McCain has lost because he chose her as a running mate.

I would be skeptical of any anonymous person making those claims. Imo, McCain was the drag on the ticket, not Palin. McCain was more interested in fighting a cultural war, but the American voter wanted to hear his plans for the economy. He was incapable of articulating his agenda, and the voters interpreted that as someone who was out of touch.

I saw somewhere today that some tiny number like 35% truly think Palin is qualified to be VP, when the chips are down.

Had those two been defending Palin all this time? That's kind of weasely of them to deny now.

Maybe if they really did vote for Obama, they did because an Obama win guarantees massive ratings for them for the next four years.

I'm serious. John and Ken were talking about this today with Bill Handel on KFI in Los Angeles. Ken and Bill voted for Obama; John voted for McCain (but only because he knew his vote would be useless in the blue state of California).

Palin has more administrative experience than Obama. Only liberals would ignore how unqualified the Obama bin Biden ticket is, in order to criticize the Republican's VP choice.

Who the !@#$ are those guys and why should we care who they voted for? I voted for Bob Barr and I'm about as famous as those two. Quit having an orgasm over Obama for five seconds.

So I guess if we need someone to make excel spreadsheets and answer phones, Palin is the one?

No, if we need someone to sell the old tired "hope and change" routine, while cavorting with domestic terrorists and racists, we'll call Obama. Check.

Pah-leeze but the crack pipe down. They'd rather have Palin close to the presidency than Obama in it. We'll all have to grab our ankles if he wins.
