First Thoughts

Picking Palin

Paul Ryan


seriously. Picking a candidate they didn't even like, as if Bush wasn't enough. Or McCain & Palin. Spare yourselves.
Plus, doing all this and picking hard Right Runningmates such as Palin and Ryan. Palin was divisive; Ryan a Randroid with deficient math.
If Republicans keep picking dorks as the running mate, they'll never win the…
GOP in 2012 took away best issue (Obamacare) by picking Romney. GOP in 2008 lost best issue by picking Palin
So picking Paul Ryan gave Romney what now? Oh, nothing? Huh. He's "smarter" than Palin, but at least they won Alaska with her...
Yes. That's just it. It's like picking Palin as a running mate. It's just not a fair race, really. You have normal vs. crazy. LOL.
John McCain should be hung for what her did to the GOP by picking Sarah Palin. Way to go John you ***
Republicans can thank McCain for picking Palin and getting this whole ball rolling.
thank goodness! *picking up smutty thoughts Justin is having about Sarah palin*
Honestly I think John Maccain would've been a great president. His biggest mistake was picking Sarah Palin for his VP.
It’s clear that picking Palin was a bit of a stumble.
Between Ryan, Biden and Palin, I think candidates are picking VPs the same way women pick bridesmaid dresses - to make the bride look better
Picking Palin was probably the only thing he got right in that entire campaign.
and new McCain was bad news from the start, and his picking up of Palin was the end of any hope of him getting my vote
In keeping with today I'm watching Game Change. It's about what picking Sarah Palin did to McCain's campaign & reputation.
John McCain lost my vote by picking Sarah "pea-brain" Palin as his "heart-beat away" pick
I don't think John McCain would have been a bad president. I just think he lost the election by picking Sarah Palin as his running mate.
Many thanks to everyone who came out to see "Picking Palin!" We'll see you again in February for the world...
what does mccain picking palin got to do with the white house watching 4 Americans die and not sending help?
Steve Schmidt dissembling on - do not forget HE was the one who sold McCain on picking Palin.
Just remember - in 2008, when picking his running mate, John McCain didn't choose Romney - he chose Sarah Palin. Yes, exactly.
Right about now, Sarah Palin is sipping coffee and picking her next factually incorrect thing to say. And Glenn Beck is chasing a squirrel.
We all know McCain is a bad one 4 picking the right person "Palin"?
MY PREDICTION: Romney losing both Wisconsin & Ohio will make people realize picking Ryan was on par with picking Palin.
Romney's selection of Paul Ryan as his running mate might be as stupid as McCain picking Palin. If this election is going to be decided by independent voters, he should have selected someone more moderate and not a right wing idealog. The right wing of the Republican party wouldn't have voted for Obama no matter who Romney picked.
Mitt Romney picked Paul Ryan? Swear just like Mccain picking Sarah Palin except he actually knows a little more.
Romney picking Ryan to capture the youth vote is like McCain picking Palin to get the women's vote.
Republicans really stink at picking vice-presidents. Agnew, Quayle, Cheney, Palin...The indicted, the imperial, and the ***
Paul Ryan pick is like picking Palin, only in the inverse : both are Tea Party type extremists meant to display the boldn fearlessness of the person top of the ticket, where gravitas and more measured behavior is supposed to reside— but she is a brainless and ignorant *** from the sticks and he is a suave political team player. Both were chosen as well for youth and sex appeal. The stupid sexy version didn't go over well, so the smart well-groomed version was inevitable. Two white men, what a surprise.
Whether right or left, they all love don't they. Constantly picking at her proves it  v twitchy
i hope picking this total *** will do him in just like Palin did for McCain.
It's like I've seen this movie before. Someone stiff (MaCain), picking someone they think will make them look loose and fun (Palin).
Wait,. Mitt isn't picking Palin?!? Where then is the comic relief i ask you? Where? There's nothing funny about Obama or Romney.stoic men. z.Sarah would have said something dumb/funny every day.darn it all to *** Jim!
I knew Romney was stupid but I didn't think he was that stupid. Picking Ryan is just as dumb as McCain picking Palin!
Romney picking Ryan as his running mate is like a drowning man grabbing an anchor. Other than Palin or Cain, definitely the worst choice.
So Paul Ryan is Romney's choice for VP. That is almost as asinine as McCain picking Palin for god sake. It is almost time to dance in the streets. This is a game changer alright, ONLY those incapable of cognitive thought would vote for this combination.
Paul Ryan's Roadmap. This will come back to bite Mitt, but not as hard as picking Palin. :P The Flimflam Man:
By not picking Sarah palin as a running mate, mitt romney already increased his chances of winning by about ten million
i was wondering the same thing. "bold" would be picking Palin again, now that would be courageous and bold.
Surprised Romney picked a conservative. Reminds me of a moderate McCain picking a conservative Palin. I suspect the result will be similar
Romney picking Paul Ryan is probably a dumber move than McCain picking Palin, does no one remember what he did to his state?
totally I see desparation kind a like McCain picking the Palin GOP has lost it
The best thing about Romney picking Ryan is that it's not another Sarah Palin pick.
Bristol Palin, are you going to call out Mitt's team for picking on your mom?► Romney Team: Paul Ryan Is No Sarah Palin
Shout out to Romney for not picking Sarah Palin as a running mate.
Three cheers for Romney for picking a Vice President that *** almost as bad as Sarah Palin

Mitt Romney was falling so fast his last ditch effort was picking teabagger favorite Paul Ryan. Reminds me of McCain/Palin debacle. Yay.
picking Ryan is no different than McCain picking Palin.
Picking Ryan was as much a desperation move as McCain picking Palin, but Romney will never admit it.
Ryan should scare all Americans. LOL at for picking the biggest mistake of all time for VP. Worse than Palin..
Just like McCain undermined his experience argument by picking Palin.
So good ol boy Mitt Romenyhood has selected the Sheriff of Romneyham Paul Ryan to be his running mate. Lol. This is almost as laughable as McCain picking Palin. I can't wait until the debates. Leggo
The Palin Rule: Picking a VP nominee to compensate for your shortcomings only magnifies your shortcomings.
Lol Mitt Romney would have been better off picking Sarah Palin as his VP.
Did the not learn anything from the disaster? Why do they insist on picking extremist running mates?
Thanks Rommy for not picking Sarah Palin for running mate... now your are thinking good luck in november.
Romney picking Paul Ryan reminds me of McCain picking Palin. A desperate move by a doomed campaign.
shows his desperation by picking Paul Ryan. The choice is on par w/ the choice of Palin: the VP motivates and excites the base
Just like McCain picking Palin after hammering Obama for his lack of foreign experience.
One would think the GOP would have learned their lesson after Palin. Picking someone like Ryan alienates a lot of intelligent voters.
So Mitt the Twit picks Paul Ryan as VP-good job picking someone more likable than you, but at least you didn't pick a crazy 'Palin" like VP
ALLDATAdiy
Its a winning ticket IF this was the 1930s. What is it that they hope to accomplish by picking this fools? First Palin now Ryan
nice job not picking Sarah Palin. Congrats on a terrific choice for America.
What's with the republicans picking VPs that just hand Obama the race? First palin now Ryan? Me likey
picking Paul Ryan as VP is Romney's Sarah Palin moment
Jesus Christ! As if Romney couldn't be any worse. He then picks Ryan as running mate? He isn't republican. He's full-blown tea-party nuts. I can only hope this is a good thing, like picking Palin turned out to be.
its hillarious! Mittens picks Paul Ryan- a tea party whack job that wants to end social security and medicare and has declared war on women! Go to factcheck.org to see his truth- its just as bad as McCain picking palin! Good job mittens- u moron! Thanks for giving us more votes:)
Punditry: Picking Paul Ryan shows just how desperate Romney is. This is similar to McCain picking Palin. It may divert media coverage away from Romney's taxes but will also make the contest a choice, not a referendum. Easy layup for Team O.
So in 2008 the Republicans felt they needed to "fire up the base" by picking Palin and we all saw how that worked out. Given how toxic the Ryan Plan is to swing voters and the incredible right-wing pressure on Romney to choose Ryan, this looks like another "fire up the base" VP decision. I can't wait to see Romney-Ryan's numbers with seniors plummet once they figure out what Ryan's plans are for Medicare...
This before Paul Ryan was named "officially" as Romney's running mate, so I ponder on the very stupid choice Al Gore made. Isn't it interesting how elections turn. But really, for Al Gore to pick Liberman, was about as big as mistake as McCain made in picking Palin, or now, in Romney picking Ryan!
Bring him on. This pick will be better that McCain picking Palin. The plus for us in MN is not seeing TPaw as much. Might get him to retire.
According to former Vice President *** Cheney, Sarah Palin was “a mistake” to pick for running mate. Considering that Cheney is also offering VP advice to Mitt Romney, it’s safe to say that Palin is probably not on the list. The Los Angeles Times reports that in Cheney’s first interview since und...
Former vice president *** Cheney said in an interview airing today that Sen. John McCain’s decision to pick Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008 was “a mistake.”
Over the weekend, *** Cheney did something few that Republicans are willing to do: He called picking Sarah Palin as the GOP’s vice-presidential nominee in 2008 “a mistake.”
Sen. John McCain was wrong, *** Cheney said, to choose Sarah Palin as his running mate in 2008 because she was not qualified to be president.
John McCain on Cheney's criticism of picking Palin: "I'm always glad to get comments four years later. Look, I respect the former vice president. He and I had strong disagreements as to whether we should torture people or not. I don't think we should have."

Cheney says picking Palin was a mistake? Actually, the mistake was Bush not picking a 2nd term VP who could run for Prez.
Cheney says McCain made a mistake picking Palin as VP choice in 2008. WRONG. The mistake was picking McCain. Any viable candidate who would have actually fought Obama, and not "taken off the gloves" could have beaten Obama, regardless of their VP pick. McCain is a hero, but a lousy Pres candidate. Romney should pay head to this. You fight Obama with everything you have. Forget decorum.
Former Vice President *** Cheney thinks the selection of Sarah Palin as the 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee “was a mistake,” he told ABC’s Jon Karl in an interview excerpted Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.” “That one I don’t think was well handl...
Cheney says that McCain picking Palin was a mistake. Yep, I agree, but also--the supreme court picking Bush was a mistake which begat the mistake of Bush picking Cheney.
Cheney: "Picking Palin for VP was 'a mistake'" Folks, I hate to say this, but there seem to be quite a bit revisionists around...but that is who THEY wanted for the ticket, whilst they were occupied by all manners of intrigue and undermined the doctrine of individualism, and they were so arrogant that the McCain-Palin team were going to win, they forgot about the Senate...
I don't agree with *** Cheney that picking Palin was a mistake. McCain lost the day he announced he was "suspending his campaign."
So *** Cheney was just saying how John McCain screwed up by picking Palin for his running mate.My response to that, maybe but... we can't all be part Cyborg!
