Default Saradise Lost

Ths is an anonymous poll which questions John McCain's vetting of Sarah Palin for the #2 spot on the Republican ticket.

A veritable cornucopia of Palin's problems.

I won't read it anyway but in the spirit of helping someone out, I think they may need a link to what you speak of!

Once again a leading poll with a missing question.

None of the Above.

Do you write polling questions for the Obama campaign?

How very sad.

Michael , you are a true Republican. When you have a question you cannot or do not want to answer you spin it around and throw it back with a different meaning.

So, if it was as you ruminate... None of the above, what then could have been the possible circumstances in which Palin was picked that I did not cover? Please, be as detailed as you like.

How about:

Yes - He knew about her warts & all and went ahead anyway, proving he knows a good candidate when he sees one.

Sure I do

What's to answer?

The poll is flawed intentionally to get the results Joey wants.

How could we prove that she is a "good Candidate", what are the qualities of a "good Candidate" and does she possess the qualities?

Very hard questions to answer for sure and that is why there is a vetting process that McCain in his Maverick shoot-from-the-hip style failed to properly execute.

I simply can't possibly believe that knowing today what we all know about Sarah Palin that her name would still be on the table as a possible VP candidate, and neither does anyone else in their right mind.

Convince us otherwise Mikey.

This wasn't a poll, in as much as only two answers, intended to create negatives, either way you answered.
Flawed poll in my opinion.

I didn't like any of the answers,

The Obamamites clearly don't understand the phrase "If you find yourself in a hole, quit digging!"

I know you're in pain Joe.

It' will get better as you work through the stages of grief.

The stages are:
  1. Denial:
    • Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening."
  2. Anger:
    • Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can you accept this!"
  3. Bargaining:
    • Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."
  4. Depression:
    • Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"
  5. Acceptance:
    • Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."
