Cafferty: Should McCain consider replacing Palin?

[RamboLiberal]

When it comes to Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, the hits just keep on coming.

Some of the latest revelations surrounding John McCain’s surprise choice of a running mate: The Associated Press reports a private lawyer has been authorized to spend $95,000 dollars of state money to defend Palin in the trooper ethics probe. Contrary to her message of reform, Palin worked to get pork barrel projects for her city and state. Also, according to the A.P., her husband was once a member of the Alaska Independence Party, some members in that group advocate that Alaska secede from the Union. Also, the boyfriend of Palin’s 17-year-old unmarried pregnant daughter is expected to join the family at the GOP convention.

The McCain camp is pushing back hard, calling questions about Palin’s background a “faux media scandal designed to destroy the first female Republican nominee” for V.P. and suggesting Palin is a victim of gender bias in the media. Where have we heard that before? They insist Palin was subject to a “long and thorough” vetting process. Really? The Washington Post reports that the head of McCain’s vetting team didn’t do an in-depth interview with Palin until the day before she was offered the number two slot.

Some are wondering if Sarah Palin could turn out to be another Harriet Miers, a vastly underqualified woman who was nominated by President Bush to become a Supreme Court Justice. Miers later had to withdraw her name from consideration. Gee… there’s that parallel again.

No presidential candidate has withdrawn his V.P. pick since Democrat George McGovern in 1972. McGovern dropped Thomas Eagleton after 18 days as revelations surfaced about his mental health. Eagleton, too, had been a last minute pick.

Here’s my question to you: Should John McCain consider replacing Sarah Palin on the GOP ticket?

Quite a conundrum, eh Jack? A) He replaces her and looks like the foolish, impulsive, misogynistic goofball that he is. B) He keeps her and he looks like the foolish, impulsive, misogynistic goofball that he is. I vote for all of the above and then I’m voting for Obama and Biden!

Gotta love it!

Bet Berta is a DUer!

McCain should not give consideration to replacing Palin. He should have someone else to do it for him. He has had his turn at VP selecting. Maybe Jay Leno could help him. My ex-wife is only 45 and has only one grown child plus she is shorter than he is so he would have someone he can look down on.

8. Nooo. Nooo. Keep her, PLEASE!
