Biden, buffoon he is, was more "qualified" than Obama. Two men! War on women!<br />But then, folks put the economy in the hands of someone who promised to skyrocket electricity costs. It was a magical time.walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818749187960350810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-13664109472152585672012-03-13T09:47:46.997-05:002012-03-13T09:47:46.997-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17818749187960350810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-42750749970852034852012-03-12T22:14:04.542-05:002012-03-12T22:14:04.542-05:00It was amazing how haphazzard the selection proces...It was amazing how haphazzard the selection process was on Palin. I think Rcocean is correct that McCain wanted Leiberman. Yet, the process shows that McCain really is not too smart and probably would have been a mediocre or worse president. Of course, Palin contributed to the problem with her weak performance in television interviews. McCain reasonably could have expected more.<br /><br />But the questioning was fascinating. Ann is not giving McCain enough credit for his answer. He artfully provided his definition of "qualifed" ("excite our base, etc.") and, technically, was not "lying."<br /><br />Even more fascinating was when This Week showed Nicole Wallace the scene of Palin and Wallace arguing over the Couric interview and Wallace essentially confirmed the accuracy of the scene. Wallace came across as a very engaging woman (and smart), but she sure did a dumb thing in recommending the Couric interview and then an incredibly disloyal thing in talking bad about Palin.Kansas Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16630367629067743935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-79470488151841727302012-03-12T18:27:29.858-05:002012-03-12T18:27:29.858-05:00"But Bush made many more"
