CAFFERTY wants to know: Clinton v. Palin: Who has more credibility?
FROM CNN’s Jack Cafferty:

Campaigning for Barack Obama in Ohio this weekend, Senator Hillary Clinton revised one of her “zingers” from the Democratic National Convention last month — “No way, no how, no McCain…”

Yesterday she added, “No Palin.”

Clinton went on to criticize the McCain ticket but did not single out Governor Sarah Palin again in the speech.

Palin meanwhile hit the campaign trail solo in Colorado today.

She told voters there that she and John McCain were going to shake up Washington.

Hindsight being what it is, some are questioning whether Barack Obama made a mistake when he chose senator Joe Biden instead of Hillary Clinton as his pick for vice president.

With the Sarah Palin phenomenon taking hold, these people now appear to have been prescient.

Here’s my question to you: Which woman has more credibility with the average American, Sara Palin or Hillary Clinton?

1. Will check it out. I like him very much. He's called bullshit on the media...
...on more than one occasion.

And his wife just passed, I wish he'd get one tenth the sympathy that Russert got.

2. Jack Cafferty makes CNN somewhat bearable to watch
This should be a good segment to see.

3. I can't answer that question because it assumes that Biden was a bad choice.
I personally think Biden was the best choice for VP.

That's seperate from my opinion of which woman has more credibility with the American people, which is Hillary.

But, I'm not going to answer a question that automatically assumes that Biden shouldn't have been chosen for VP.

6. No, what it assumes is that Obama didn't make a choice based
SOLELY on political expediency.

4. My Cafferty Comment

Your comment is awaiting moderation.


Jack,

Palin would not make a good political or credible pimple on Hillary’s butt! So, the answer is that Hillary is the more credible by a country mile!

7. Jack's question makes the answer obvious - Hillary
"Credibility with the average American." palin's supporters are religious fundamentalist constitution hating gun toting mad men and women. Nothing Average American about them at all.

8. Here is mine:
Jack. You can't be serious. Hillary Clinton is the one that PUT the 18 million cracks in that glass ceiling. There are not even that many people, caribou, polar bears and wolves in Alaska, and you know that the bears and wolves were not voting for Palin. They were too afraid of being field dressed.

:rofl:

Well, I think it works.

12. Sometimes a person in recovery (alcohol) needs to get back
to the daily routine post haste. Sitting around and dwelling (stinkin' thinkin') is not a good thing. Good on Jack and a happy 24 to him.

18. As a person myself in recovery for many, many years, one of the
things we treasure is continuity and routine. It keeps our inner core feel organized, straight and narrow. I know that sounds goofy, but when I was out there, chaos reigned and of course, I couldn't figure out why...LOL. During a crisis time, I lost a 23 year old daughter, the job probably saved me. The pity pot becomes a great excuse, etc. Jack knows what the tools are and how to use them.

13. My favorite line...
"Palin is the most dangerous and devious, practical joke ever played American Politics."

14. I was Looking at all of the responses
There were probably over a hundred responses. I didn't see a single one that thought Palin was more credible. I didn't bother to post my own.
