McCain may have made the biggest mistake of his political life by selecting Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential candidate in 2008. Of course, we will never know, had he chosen another individual as his running mate, whether or not he would have beaten Barack Obama; my guess is he still would have lost, but who knows.
Anyway, I don’t really understand why McCain would support Palin, being that she’s a complete air-head. He can’t be naive enough to actually believe that she is presidential “material,” can he? If it wasn’t for the fact that she’s extremely attractive, I don’t think she’d ever have the popularity she currently has. One thing is for sure, she is NOT fit to run this country. The United States would be the laughing-stock of the world should this ding-bat ever reside in the White House. TGO

Ariz. Sen. John McCain, who ran for president with Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008, says the former Alaska governor has what it takes to beat President Obama in the next election — that is, if she decides to run.
During an appearance on “Fox News Sunday,” McCain expressed optimism that Palin could win in 2012.
“Of course she can. She can. Now, whether she will or not, whether she’ll even run or not, I don’t know,” McCain said when asked about Palin’s presidential prospects.
McCain said Palin inspires “great passion, particularly among the Republican faithful,” but added that there’s a connection between her high unfavorability rating and the heavy media criticism of her.
“I’ve never seen anyone as mercilessly attacked and relentlessly attacked as I have seen Sarah Palin in the last couple of years,” McCain said.
Regardless of McCain’s kudos, it remains a mystery whether Palin will seek the presidency. Palin fueled speculation that she’ll run last week when she announced an East Coast bus tour. She dubbed the “One Nation” trip a chance to “educate and energize Americans about our nation’s founding principles, in order to promote the fundamental restoration of America.”
Oh, Great One, I agree with you! Palin is a joke. I think McCain was just being polite. If he answered, “Hell no!” his own Party would be all over him.
Yes, you’re right about that. Still, if I were McCain I would have been a bit more reserved in my reply without throwing her under the bus.
