Comments on: Should McCain ask Sarah Palin to step aside? http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/29/will-mccain-ask-sarah-palin-to-step-down/ Tell Jack how you really feel Sat, 19 Dec 2009 00:00:35 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: amy-atlanta http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/29/will-mccain-ask-sarah-palin-to-step-down/#comment-670562 amy-atlanta Mon, 29 Sep 2008 21:48:42 +0000 http://cnncaffertyfile.wordpress.com/?p=1893#comment-670562 Without a moments hesitation -YES. Just as Peggy Noonan and many other conservatives have said - her pick was a total "gimmick" by McCain. He's using gimmicks to win votes - suspending or at least pretending he was suspending his campaign, wanting to postpone the debates, flying to the rescue in Washington to take care of the economic crisis while saying he was leaving "partisan" politics out of it, then injecting that very thing into the situation and now he wants to blame Obama for the collapse of the bail out. In classic gimmick style he never fails us. The Palin pick just shows he lacks the judgment to be President. She's a joke and the possibility she could be a heartbeat away from taking over for the oldest guy to ever take office is truly a frightening thought. Without a moments hesitation -YES.

It's scary and extremely sad for our country.

These two are making the USA look foolish around the world! How about if McCain and Palin work as a team and make a mutual pact to both withdraw.

John McCain has admitted that he only wanted to be President for his own selfish reasons, not because he has a calling to better this country. I think both McCain and Palin should step down. Now!

Bush's worst quality... a person of deep conviction who is not a deep thinker. They have a point of view based on limited information and they're going to "fight for it" regardless of what other information might come into play. They call it conviction, but I call it shallowness. What we saw in the Couric interview was someone who could only go one question deep on a topic. Once Couric asked the second question, Palin was unable to form a new thought on her own. OUCH!! Sarah Palin possesses George W. Bush's worst quality... a person of deep conviction who is not a deep thinker.

His selection of her definitely defines his judgement and/or ability to control the decisions of his own campaign or surroundings. He has made a "mockery" of the USA. Let's see how she does in the debate. If she has a performance that is anything similar to the Katie Couris interview, there may be an even bigger push to get her off the ticket.
