Just on the heels of the Democratic National Convention and Barack Obama's stirring speech, we have Senator John McCain selecting Governor Sarah Palin who admitted on "Kudlow and Company" that she didn't kow what the VP job called for.
She said this less than two months ago and at a time when her name was in consideration for the Vice Presidential candidacy.
I found this on YouTube and took a shot of it here. But the main question is why would McCain;s staff select someone who made a statement like that, let alone the other problems she brings surrounding the firing scandal.

Gov. Sarah Palin: "What Does A VP Do"?

  • What are your qualifications sir?

    People like you crack me up. That is what is meant by "taking a comment out of context." Instead of your being impressed by the fact that she wants to be in an active and productive position, you make fun of her asking the rhetorical question, "What does the VP do all day?" I am sure she knows what a VP does technically, but is asking if she is going to actually have some power and ability to make changes versus being a lapdog to the president. Zennie, when were you last the mayor of a town of 9000 and when were you last an elected Governor? I suppose though you would have loved this gal if she was a democrat and said she didn't know what the VP did all day but she wanted the job if it meant "change" and "hope." Your arguments are impressive to the impressionable.

    • What are YOUR qualifcations?

      Yeah, Sarah Palin was the mayor of a town of 7-9000, which she left TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT,(!, how the F**k do you even manage that?), before bcoming 'governor' of a state with a smaller population than Austin, Texas. Whoa, let me get in line to vote for THAT ticket!! LOL!!

  • lead is so funny.. ...

    lead is so funny..saying she is a heat beat from being president and not experienced to lead when obama has the heartbeat in the seat if he wins and has little or no commander in chief, executive manager, or extensive foreing policy experience,,why did they pick biden...for the foreign policy experience that obama lacks which reminds me of bush picking cheney for foreign policy creds when bush was a light weight..lol..obama following bush formula...ouch

  • stop listening to ...

    stop listening to fox news...that is funny when you hear some hard core clinton supporters say fox news had most balanced coverage of hillary than msnbc or cnn...that is clinton supporters such as terry, forget how to spell his name..anyway, obama lacks military background, foreign policy experience, and has not manage a budget of billions of dollars..the ideal candidate is a former govenor such as clinton or reagan..obama is weak in many areas and pointing it out that sarah is not ready to

  • Once again, it ...

    Once again, it seems you have taken something and blown it out of proportion. Almost no one knows precisely what veeps do all day long. My understanding is that it could very well depend on what the Prez says she is to do. With respect to the "control" aspect--if it had been someone with much greater experience, you undoubtedly would have said McCain wants someone to hold his hand or whatever. Bush supposedly wanted yes-men at the same time he was a puppet; which is it? Always a conspiracy.

  • lastly, her story ...

    lastly, her story of pro life, nra, mom of five, commerical fisherwoman, city council member, mayor, and govenor, demonstrates she has some experience handling budgets. we have a surplus of several billion dollars in oil revune here in alaska and receive a pfd each year. I will be receiving $3200 on sept 12 for living here due to the oil sharing profits that every resident of alaksa receives..i will receive at least $2000 in a pfd and $1200 for energy rebate from the....

    • I guess it's a good thing you don't live

      in Wasilla, the little town she was mayor of, or your 'oil profits' might be eaten up trying to pay off the TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS IN DEBT she racked up on its behalf. WHOOO-EEE!!!

  • WHAT are his assets ...

    WHAT are his assets...he wants to be president and hillary said he was too risky to be president due to lack of experience and hillary lost...what obama has is the IT factor like bill clinton and Reagan and mccain wisely realized the election was lost if he picked a hard core conservative like romney..picking palin is brillant for it makes him look bad for not picking a woman that received 18 MILLION VOTES...did you see biden's face today...he did not look happy...

    hello, I live in alaska and an independent. your points,,,she asked honest question on national tv and you are hammering her for it. the context is she does not want to be figure head but be very active in government and that was her point. What does a vp do by the way other than do interviews and speeches..and cast tie votes in the senate. NOw, palin was picked cause obama passed on clinton who SAID OBAMA WAS GOING FOR OJT..ON JOB TRAINING...

    • Well, if you live in Alaska, I guess you

  • WHAT? To even ...

    WHAT? To even write about experience with respect to Senator Obama shows you don't know what you're writing about and have done ZERO homework about him. Mine is not a "rant" channel -- bring an intelligent argument with stats and data or evidence. The Ron Paul people do this well I must say.

    I've seen Barack talk 14 times, and 70 percent just plain talking and no notes. Where you got the teleprompter crap I don't know, but stop listening to Fox News. That's wrong. Also, Ayers is ...you know, you're not thinking here. You're just repeating what you've been told on TV. Bring something orginal and thoughtful. Not this.

  • She may only have 2 ...

    She may only have 2 years running a state but compared to Obama her roles were more than he had as a state legislator for 4 years and a U.S Senator for 2 Obama A man with a questionable past a racist preacher that is pretty tight with him. A wife that said a couple months ago that for the first time she was proud to be a American... Point is your talking about a V.P canidate that has as much or more exsperience than Obama.I wonder if it was a white dem or Hillary you would be so concerned.

    PLEASE learn how to spell!

    What does any of that have to do with her statement that she doesn't know what a VP does?

    Let's not get started on shady characters/gaffes, okay?

    The republican party just handed your boy obama a free ticket back to the senate. OK let me see if I got this right,I can belong to a racist church for 20 years and be good friends with mr ayers the pentegon bomber and thats ok. We the people of the U S A are a bit smarter then you give us credit for and don't talk to us about lack of experience because mr obama has NO ROOM to talk when it comes to on the job training. Hey you guys here that?
    It sounds like some prolife Justices coming.

    This is called humor. I thought it was funny. Nice knowing that someone running for high office is a real person.

    Palin is a fantastic pick who is far more experienced than Obama.

    Zennie, I thought you had a sense of humor. She is an executive who leads. Obama is a Senator who campaigns and pontificates.

    She is a hero for the conservative movement. She is a pick for these people.
