Reply #25: The problem w/Crist: TWO white men with white hair on the ticket. A losing ticket for sure.

Really. Perception and appearance mean something in politics, esp. to a gimmicky mavricky guy like McSame.

He could not choose someone like Crist who looked too much like himself, only younger & healthy. Too much white hair, when trying to oppose a "young" enthusiastic ticket!

He also could not choose Romney. Too tall and handsome with full head of dark hair. It would make McSame seem even older and smaller.

Sooooo...he decided to go it alone on the ticket, and just take on a secretary! That's basically what Palin is. Someone who knows nothing, but does what she's told, and says what she's told. (and probably gets his coffee for him)
