Biden/Palin

[Devinn]

With all the talk about how McCain is being "desperate" by choosing a female running mate ...trying to reign in female votes...

I dont hear anyone TOUCHING the fact that Obama (who, it's no secret, has little experience) chose a running mate with 29572937 years of experience...trying to reign in the vote of the people who think he's a puppy.

readysetgo.

Well for the sake of argument, choosing someone for VP based on their gender, rather than based on experience seems pretty silly to me. At least choosing someone for their experience is a logical reason... picking because of sex seems a bit silly.

Well, obviously McCain nulled the experience argument by the choice he made also!

So we should complain that a Pres Candidate picks someone with experiance?
Yup, sounds scandalous to me.

I think you can never have enough experience. So McCain instead of picking someone with less experience than Obama could have picked someone with some experience.

I'm calling FoxNews as we speak...(er type?)

I think is you are less experience then you should choose a running mate that is more experienced. That way when you do get to a point of what the heck do I do with this, they can step in and help you through it.

If you have a lot of experience, then maybe you choose someone with less experience that you can mentor and show the ropes. Someone you can trust that has the potential to do great things.

Just my two cents.

Yes, in a way I think he did. Though, I think Obama picking Biden nulled his argument of moving away from "old Washington."

Personally, I think if you were to flip the Democrat ticket, it would make a lot more sense to me.

Good way of putting it. I like that.
