Do you think choosing Sarah Palin was a mistake for McCain?

Yes. She is way too inexperienced to potentially serve as President

Yes, she may be inexperienced, but she has charm...and thats what counts.

She has enough appeal to the masses to make her choice acceptable.

No. She lives next to Russia, so has enough experience for me.

The baby names list just really smacked me in the funny bone, geo. It doesn't even have anything to do with Sarah Palin. You turned me silly.

It is quite interactive, like one of those cardboard Christmas posters with things behind the doors. Don't her kids have weird names? Maybe not carport or flake. A dart is as good as any other method of choosing. I look forward to seeing the oil derricks in Bethesda. And if you open the windows you can see the dinosaur. Science in the bin is a nice touch. Don't touch the hotline to Moscow Sarah!

Why is there a dinosaur walking outside the oval office windows?

Is it a statement about creationism or possibly cloning?

Or maybe that a Palin (McCain) administration would put us back way into the past.

That was funny! Thanks for posting it, geo! I was going to be Palin for a Halloween party, but thought everyone was going to do the political costume thing. I should've done it though because there wasn't even one politician there.

Sarah Palin's War on Science
The GOP ticket's appalling contempt for knowledge and learning.

By Christopher Hitchens http://www.slate.com/id/2203120/
This is what the Republican Party has done to us this year: It has placed within reach of the Oval Office a woman who is a religious fanatic and a proud, boastful ignoramus. Those who despise science and learning are not anti-elitist. They are morally and intellectually slothful people who are secretly envious of the educated and the cultured. And those who prate of spiritual warfare and demons are not just "people of faith" but theocratic bullies. On Nov. 4, anyone who cares for the Constitution has a clear duty to repudiate this wickedness and stupidity.
Amen comrade!
