According to an interview that should have been broadcasted on ABC news on Thursday, Sarah Palin plans to participate as candidate in the race for presidency in 2012.
Before she becomes president I prefer the idea of the ISS exploding in orbit and the toiletseat falling down on her head and at least filling some stuff into it.

Funny... I think it was a MSNBC panel you said last week that Palin is not ready to be VP this year, but will be a great POTUS choice in 2012. hehe
And just because you do not like her, does not mean that she wont be a good choice as President.

I certainly have never said that she would be a good POTUS choice ever. she is unknowing, uneducated, and even stupid enough not to see where she makes mockery of herself. There must be reasons why McCain's staff learned to hate her so much in past weeks. and that she says stupid stuff like this after having been a growing handicap for McCain's campaign already and McCain still fighting for office right now, will not make her any new friends.
And just because you do not like her, does not mean that she wont be a good choice as President.
Just because you like her does not mean that her intellectual handicap disappears in just four years. Her head is a perfect Fata Morgana.
Please, stand above her, do not lower yourself to her pathetic carricature of a niveau by defending her. She is a brainless zero, and most of your countrymen (assuming you are American) meanwhile have understood that. What is she more than the biggest joke of your nation.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, but I am surprised that you lower yourself of the level of the more radical Obama supporters. A lot of things can happen in four years, jumping to conclusion and entering panic mode just yet is pretty unprofessional, even for you.

If McCain truly is scapegoating his VP pick, I don't think it'll effect him very much. Methinks he won't be nearly as much of a player if he doesn't win this time around.
I think it is safe to assume that she has more "fans" then McCain does. Which I find very, very interesting for someone who was more or less unknown not long ago. She has stated her intent to continue being involved in national politics should the GOP not win POTUS in a few days, but I think it still remains to be seen how seriously people will take her after the election in the event of a Republican loss.

The nomination, probably. Her main skill as a candiodate is generating enthusiasm in the Republican base. But this base has been getting smaller and smaller, and Sarah Palin has demonstrated that she cannot win swing voters.

I agree. I think the success of such a candidacy is a conservative pipe dream.
That said, hey, if Obama screws up really badly (funny how I'm talking about him as already having been elected... but I digress), who knows - there might be a backlash and that particular side might garner more sympathy (or perhaps more accurately, Obama falling flat might dampen the liberals but energize the conservatives - and as always, an election is about being able to mobilize a support base).

I mean, if you would have told me in July that McCain was going to pick her as his VP I would have looked at you blankly, figured out who she was, and then I wouldn't have stopped laughing at you for a while. Predicting politics/politicians is often like predicting the weather. Yes there is some data to go by, but it can still (and often does) really surprise you how things turn out.

Actually I lend the picture from a funny book (I didn'T read :D ) , "Mieses Karma". There a selfish TV-diva gets beheaded by the toilet of a Russian spacestation exploding, and must reincarnate as an ant in the house of the family that she had treated so bad. She makes some educating observations and then gets trampled to death, next comes back as a dog and again meets her family, and so on and on...
Ah, and Thomen:
I am no Obama supporter. ;) I would not vote for him, and thinlk life with him will be more dofficult for us europeans, than with McCain. I've read a German essay that the Russian analysts and politicians also fear Obama more than McCain, who more falls into the familiar cold war schemes they know from the past. If Obama gets elected, many people in europe sooner or later will rub their eyes. Many illusions there are on how less "America first" he is. As for the Russian political class, he reminds them to much of Kennedy and his determined aggressive patriotism, and Kuba certainly was as little a pleasant experience for them as was the massive arming program launched under Kennedy.

Judging by what I have seen of her on TV/youtube, and read of her comments and opinions and other interview desasters, and putting aside language issues: yes. And more than just "holding my own".

Four years is a long time in politics and you never know what may happen. Palin may gain the experience and credentials required to run for the job. Good luck to her. No one thought Reagan had the attributes to be a future President in his younger years.

The was given as an altermative to Hillary clinton., or better: as the Republican equivalent to clinton. however, Clinton may not be sexy, but she is witty, while Palin is not witty, but looks "cute". Remember when she was announced and we had the first thread about her? I said my first thought were "this is about gender and looks". And that still hits the nail on top. But many female voters for which she was aiming at, turned away, because Clinton stands for an emanicapted and liberal picture of women - who see their rights they have fought for so long being threatened and betrayed by Palin.
A snapshot of the attitudes on her:
Quickvote
Do you think Sarah Palin will be elected U.S. president in the future?
Yes 10% 1995
No 90% 18474
Total Votes: 20469
source: CNN (at the time of this posting).
Why GWB was elected at least could be explained to some degree. but if Palin ever becomes president by elections, I will give up all hope that is left for America, and turn my back on it, for that event would be sufficient evidence that it's people have gone completely nuts. If after reunification of Germany, Germans would not have kicked out the SED, but would have elected a stupid nonsens-babbler like Honecker as first chancellor of the reunited German republic, you would have said the same about Germans, right?
I see it all the time. Something comes up as a topic in the US - be it some candidate, or some point of debate. People in Germany have NO opinion on it. Because they haven't even heard of it yet, and with most their English comprehension is so limited that they wouldn't even understand CNNi's broadcasting. Not that they would even bother to recieve oversea broadcasting. After all, our media is the most trustworthy in the world and US media is just propaganda. Comes a week, and Spiegel or some other rag belatedly comes up with a "report" or editorial on the issue or candidate. Then, all of a sudden, EVERYBODY knows about it. And, strange enough, they all have the same opinion that was expressed in the article they've read. You can place bets on it - works everytime. That's some enlighted opinion building right there.

Nov 04 2007 - Governor Sara Palin of Alaska has announced she is running for President of the United States.
How far would she have made it? After the first 5 interviews she would have been a national joke. McCain insulted the collective intelligence of the entire country when he picked her. (It's unfortunate that really stupid people can vote, and it still counts.)

Don't worry Skybird. She will be EASILY defeated in the Primaries. Maybe by McCain!
And even if she is Nominated. Things will be so much better in 2012 that it will matter little.
I think you guys underestimate Palin. Remember that nothing you hear in the media during election season is going to represent anything close to an unbiased viewpoint. Anyone who doesn't believe that just has to look at the mud tossed at their own candidate and judge it's accuracy for themselves.
The woman has an 80% job satisfaction rating among her Alaskan constituents. I don't know about you, but the Alaskans I've met are definitely not the type to suffer fools very well, so anyone that can get that kind of rating must be doing something right.
But, hey believe what you want. Whether she'll be successful or not remains up to the voters of this country.

A. According to the US Constitution the Vice President "presides" over the senate. Kind of a big word for grade schoolers don't you think? So she substituted "run". YOU are the one using the term "in control".
B. The "Bush Doctrine" is a media invented term that has meant several things over the past 8 years. Asking which one the interviewer was referring to is quite reasonable, unless of course you're pining for a "gotcha" like you are.
C. I find a politician willing to speak her true opinion quite refreshing and McCain, who is an acknowledged maverick himself, has already said that he's fine with it. So how come you aren't slamming for man Biden for knocking another 100 grand off the Obama income redistribution threshold in that speech the other day? The Democrats fail to coordinate their lies? Y'know thats something you just don't do if you want to win an election...

Hehe, it is not half as clever as get-things-done-technocrats believe to ban all "Grundlagenforschung" (pure research?) and focus on product-oriented research only, that under best conditions also is expected not only to lead to a new product to sell right away, but should give the colourful box and the advert printings right with it. Maybe one must not know the detailed linking between Down syndrom and fruit fly research, but nobody knowing the basic importance of pure research would have used that attempt of a argument from the very beginning, knowing that even if he does not know the details of a given story nevertheless there could be such implications.
"Spießbürgerlich", "kleinkariert", and a hypocritic, underhanded "Moralapostel", that'S what she is, being chosen to serve as an eye-catcher only, and now mistaking it (in a fit of megalomania and craving for attention)with seriously thinking to have been picked to save the world.
Plenty of Zeroes in politics and many ridiculous and narcissistic people, but she really scores as a special example of that kind.
Well that's the point of science, studying "maybe's", it's better than not doing anything at all.
"Maybe" :D, but unless there is a clear goal in mind the money spent on pure research would be better spent on tackling more concrete problems first. You try telling your constituents their taxes have to be raised because you want to fund Fruit fly research in a foreign country.

Hello, Mr Pott, meet Mr. Kettle.
For a non-supporter of Obama you surely blow a lot of wind in his favor. ;)
Palin has been picked for certain reasons, no doubt about that. But she still beats the snot out of Biden when it comes to brains and especially when it comes to looks.
It really amazes me that he still allowed to be on the ticket or make public appearances.

For a non-supporter of Obama you surely blow a lot of wind in his favor. ;)
That is a side-effect for which I simply don't care. It certainly is neither Obama's nor my mistake that McCain chosed this person as running mate.
That one does not like the one, does not mean one actively supports the other. Although I would prefer Obama any time over Palin, I still would not vote him. This whole clown show the campaign year is, is killing my nerves, my patience, and what I take especially queer: it attempts to kill my brains. Regarding the latter, the republican efforts are far more ambitious. Even German news gets occupied by this show. I'm glad when the whole circus is over.

Palin has been picked for certain reasons, no doubt about that. But she still beats the snot out of Biden when it comes to brains and especially when it comes to looks.

According to what I read yesterday, they've got Joe on a pretty good leash tied to a teleprompter so he can't suck both feet up to the hips into his big mouth any more this close to the election.

Why don't you just ignore it? If it bothers you that much, change the channel.. instead of RTL or Pro7 watch Arte. Instead of Der Spiegel read Tim und Struppy. Rather then getting all riled up on the interent about it, play a game.
You say it goes on your nerves, yet you apparently refuse to let it go.. something doesn't makes sense here.. ;)

I think that McCain picking Palin is what America is all about. Here you have an experienced Senator and War Hero picking an unknown and inexperienced local politician as his VP running mate.
The voters, or rather the Electoral College as we live in a Republic and not a Democracy, will decide if it comes to pass. She worries me less than Dan Quale did. :D

Hm, don't know. Hobby maybe? :p
Was gibt es Schöneres als in ein Stück Kuchen zu beißen
und gleichzeitig dumme Politiker zu zerreißen? :lol:
It's also a question of forum balance. We have a thread to bash Obama, but nobody launches a thread to bash McCain. :)
Serious, if Mcain becomes president and gets sick or dies, she would be president, and considering that McCain is of the age and looks that he would fit well into the league of general secretaries of the KPdSU, this is not even an unliekly perspective. But a US managed by a canary craving for attention would be a problem (and a threat) for all the rest of the world. Stupidity either gets abused by even more sinistre forces exploiting it, or it acts to show that it is itself the greatest of all destructors. Against the plague, there help injections. Against stupidity, we are left defenseless. Look at Bush and the Conservatives irresponsible way of managing finances - even we people in Germany are now financially and economically affected by it like everybody else around the world. And then we should not care for those helping the problems to form up?

Yes but which thread has legs? Which gives substance to my point that a very funny compilation of late night shows on McCain's meandering around a set becomes a "Bash McCain" thread in response to a bash Obama thread. Go figure.

Shouldn't this thread be merged with the bash McCain/Palin thread?:rotfl:

They had to start somewhere to merge the threads together. You might want to complain to Neal about being mistaken.

No Thomen, it is not something I lose sleep over but as you say "They had to start somewhere...".
