Forum Overview :: Tansin A. Darcos's Alter Ego
 
Hard to say. by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 10/02/2014, 6:24am PDT
While the choice of a VP really has little effect on the election - people don't vote for Vice except when they buy pron - you want someone who doesn't outshine you, while at the same time you don't want someone who is going to turn everyone off.

John McCain lost the election because he had absolutely nothing to show that he would be different from Bush Jr., thus he was just seen as the third term of the Bush (Jr.) Administration. But picking Sarah Palin, a non-entity trying really hard to rise to the level of a zero - didn't help show good judgement on his part.

Is there anyone who, with a straight face, can say that Governor Palin was the best choice for a female Republican VP candidate? Hell, I can think of at least three or four who would have been far better. Like Elizabeth Dole, wife of Senator Bob Dole, who's been through political campaigns, and was herself president of the American Red Cross so she's had experience in a leadership position.

I don't think the choice of Sarah Palin had much effect on the election but it may have swayed some people who were worried that McCain might drop dead part way through his term, leaving little Sarah, who might not be all that qualified, to run the country. I've listened to a lot of her public remarks and I have no idea how this woman won public office. Some of her malapropisms and misstatements were worse than Yogi Berra's.

But as far as myself, like the thought I once had, what do I do about having to pay a lot of taxes if I make a large amount of money, "I'll worry about that when it happens." Unless I either win a nomination of a major political party or can raise the money to do an independent campaign, I don't even have to consider it for now. But I'm open to suggestions.
