Pure and simple.

Or impure and complex.

Have it your way.

Sorry...she's fuckable. Elections are won on percentage points.

And...also sorry...she's a female. Ditto the "elections are won on percentage points" idea.

Any group of female (or homosexual male) loons who would vote for Obama because he's "cute"...third time sorry, but read "fuckable" there, please...is instantly negated by the equivalent group of male (or homosexual female) loons who will vote for McCain because his running mate is "cute".

Percentage point parsing.

There goes the sex appeal advantage.

Coupled with the PUMA-hyped loons who are mad at Obama and the Dems because they didn't pick Ma Clinton, people who were thinking of voting for McCain or abstaining out of spite?

UH oh!!!

As I said...elections are won on percentage points.

It's at the very least a small win.

Coupled with the fact that in the VP debates Biden will be forced to be "gentle with her" (If indeed he possesses enough personal self-control to do so.), and there's another small win.

Need I repeat the "'percentage points" meme?

If they can whittle it down to Diebold-level  percentage points?

UH oh!!!

Watch.

Well during the debate, Biden can easily deal with this.  He can practically pretend she isn't even in the room and use every opportunity to rip into McCain..

didn't McCain call his own wife a "cunt", wait until he ask Palin to go make him sandwich, the men got real work to deal with.

I give her 2 weeks.

I was thinking along the same lines...we had Harry Reid talking about McCain has been abusive to anyone he's worked with in the senate, and McCain has called his wife unspeakable names and offered her up for a topless biker chick beauty contest...I just can't see him being able to work with this woman without blowing his top, especially if he sinks in the polls.

That said, I think the wingnuts will be out in force to get her elected, and she was chosen to send them a message that here might be a reward for them if he's elected.

Ignore her and he will be accused of dissing her because she is a woman.

Oppose her with any but the gentlest of attitudes and he will be accused of beating on a pretty, defenseless young woman.

It's a "GOTCHA!!!"

I agree, that's the idea, to make the election as close as possible once again and steal it with corrupt officials and electronic technology screw-ups. It worked in 2000, 2002, 2004, and 2006, why not now?
