I guess McCain is smarter than I am. I certainly wasn't expecting lefty women suddenly to vote GOP because Palin has two X chromosomes. Frankly, I expected her to be regarded with dismissive bemusement.
Instead libs are frothing at the mouth, "AUUGGGGHHHHHH HOW DARE YOU NOMINATE A WOMAN!!!!!! HHHHHHH!!!! FUNDIE HHHHHHHH!!!!! AUUUGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Perhaps McCain saw this coming, in which case he's brilliant.
I guess it's your prerogative to descend into deranged misogyny. I just don't see how it's all that helpful to the Obama campaign. Ripping a working woman's family to shreds probably wins points at the Yearly Kos convention since her politics are conservative and therefore evil, but I tend to think that acting like the Saudi religious police after catching a glimpse of elbow runs against the kind of temperant Obama is attempting to instill in Democrat politics.
I hereby christen the malady Palin Malevolence Syndrome.
Like Hillary Malevolence Syndrome? You know where anyone who didn't like Hillary Clinton(Obama supporters, every Republican in existence) was automatically branded a mysoginist? I never figured you for a middle aged, shoulder padded, old-guard feminist clinging to victimhood.
It's already named Mad Cow Syndrome.
Rather sensitive and defensive aren't we?
Who cares if a woman is selected to be a running mate or not. Been there, done that in 1984.
If McCain wanted a woman, there are a lot Republican women with more experience and name recognition for him to select from. Problem is, most of them are not acceptable to the social conservatives of his party.
The castration of John McCain is complete. He has flip flopped on the handful of issues he differed with the extreme right of his party on and now they have told him who his running mate will be. Maverick my ass. More like a gelding.

Yep and she said today she will more than likely vote for our woman. A real babe, as Rush says. She is going to eat you Dimm-o-craps lunch for you.
Panic time in dimm town.
Remember all the times Republicans and conservative on this board would complain about being call mysoginists because the didn't like Hillary Clinton? , even Obama supporters got some of that. Remember the cries about how unfair it was that someone who honestly disagreed with her positions was equated with a few random bloggers or backwoods talk radio hacks who'd say something like ""AUUGGGGHHHHHH HOW DARE YOU NOMINATE A WOMAN!!!!!! HHHHHHH!!!! SOCIALIST HHHHHHHH!!!!! AUUUGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
I'm beginning to think republicans have been so desperate this campaign that they were ready to use any nominee and any political ruckus to quickly flock back to McCain and feel strengthened.
Dude...you actually think they could have come up with a candidate that would do more to help than her?
This was a grandslam...they got 10 million in contributions the first 2 days after she was announced.
I'm beginning to think liberals thought this thing was in the bag based on a Romney/Lieberman/whoever pick, and now McCain has picked Palin they're scared less.
Scared less because they're getting owned in the polls, right?
The more important question is why does Ron Paul continue to be a bag now that there is a timetable for withdrawl from Iraq..
Smart man...not a smart politician.
He needs to stop being bag and realize he's going to be dead before he gets enough people supporting his plan to make it worthwhile.
He at least needs to feign dishonesty with bigtime players so he can have a bigger stage to get his message out.
He's elected to Senate to help this country but he refuses to play any sort of ball that will enable him to do that better.
I am waiting for this anwer Paulites...other than his highly self-absorbed view on the Iraq War I like him.
I guess he's a man of principles.
Then he probably should be leading a citizens group instead of working in Congress because principles alone don't get anything done in politics.
So republican principles did not work to an end in the 2000's thus far?
Principles are great and Paul obviously has them...but principles alone don't get anything done.
I hear the boyfriend's web site has been pulled off of the internet. The website was laced with vulgar profanities and had a statement from him saying that he DOES NOT want to get married.
But enough of this.
