Sounds like self-loathing to me.

And here I thought you'd be all over the "hot librarian" pick, Barbara. What, you can have your young, hot Messiah, and we can't enjoy a little eye candy?

Disappointing how? You mean you were actually countenancing voting for McCain?

Certainly. I haven't made up my mind yet.

Thus "moderate" = "indecisive".

who is the better pick?

TripletDaddy · 08-29-2008, 04:59 PM

in all this discussion, has anyone bothered to determine where she was born? Was she born on a military base or near a bank? Were her relatives in the Army? That would at least get me somewhat comfortable.

NOTE: Saying McCain picked Palin because she's an attractive woman is sexist. Demosntrably he picked her because of her perceived overall strengths as a politician.

Libertarians should be pleased. I lived in Alaska for five years. It's the most libertarian state in the union. It has an equal rights amendment and a right to privacy written into the Constitution.

Who cares? She has a journalism degree from the University of Idaho. That's good enough for me.
