Poor Johnny's got no chance of making it through four years without a sex scandal. His wife hates the Washington life and will be back home nodding off

Is this a set up for a crude joke?

it might open up more opportunities than it closes. it kinda neutralizes Obamas change mantra.

it might be a better overall strategy, getting people to want to vote for McCain rather than simply against Obama.

its a gamble that will depend entirely on how well she comes across, and how prepared she is for the big stage.

I agree...but man...what a roll of the dice. I'm sure they vetted her but this has to be a McCain gut decision

She is for it.

Odds on McCain winning: 3/2
Odds on McCain dying during 1st term: 4/1 (age + cancer = 6-7 year life expectancy)

So, right now, this woman has a 1 in 6 chance to be president.

Hopefully, that communications degree from the University of Idaho has prepared her well to be president.

McCain isn't real fluid either, but he will do fine in heads-up debates with the great one.

Ummm, I think that umm,you know, that Obama needs,uh,like, serious visual aids(read cue cards) to, you know, get his lines straight,umm..you know??:D

I'll rein my adolescent humor in, here is an interesting photo of her we won't be seeing from the McCain camp, she has dyed blonde hair and looks like she could be hanging with Paris and Britney:

It's not a safe choice at all and could either make or break him.

maybe its not desperation, maybe its a bold stroke of genius.

look I'm skeptical, but I at least want to give her a look and find out a bit more. maybe he found a diamond in the rough.
