Senator John McCain Picks Sarah Palin (Governor of Alaska) As His Vice President

Fox_News reports that Senator_John_McCain Picks Sarah Palin as his Vice_President pick. Verification has resulted after the campaign_revealed that Tim_Pawlenty, Mitt_Romney and Huckabee_were not John_McCain's choice. Drudgehas also reported this verfication. She has been the governor_of Alaska_for one term and has a great story. She recently gave birth to a downe_syndrome child. This is really exciting for all the women who want the glass_ceiling broken. Senator_Obama_did not want to pick Hillary to break the glassceiling, and chose_Joe_Biden_instead. However, John_McCain wants women to break the glass_ceiling and to be Vice_President. It shows he is more about change thanObama, by picking a woman.

Hurray for women and breaking the glass_ceiling. McCain/Palin 2008

The title was accurate when posted, I'm sorry they changed the content before you viewed it. The site was featured and the story were both reported on CNN and Fox news. They even showed the website. They also showed the drudge story too. But the change is fine and i understand why it was made. I will change it back when they put it back up.

Huh?

You don't think dr2dr or champagnedreams would notice that you basically called them idiots? I'm not taking issue with your legitimate arguments, just with your use of the word idiot to refer to someone who disagrees with you. "You could have said to me, privately, that maybe I should change that." You could have said privately to dr2dr or champagne that you thought they were idiots, instead of posting it here for all to see. It's not my job to PM people to and suggest changes to them. You've been on Xomba long enough to know what is and isn't appropriate. Besides, you posted your "idiot" comment for all to see, so it was totally appropriate for me to respond to it in public. 'Also it says "you would be" not "you are an idiot".' Well, that makes it all better, doesn't it! (not) And now I will take Nick's advice and step away from this thread. We have both made our points and there is no reason to continue the back-and-forth, especially since it has nothing to do with Sarah Palin.

You Could Have Said It Privately

The problem I have with it is that I don't think anyone would've thought anything of it until you pointed it out! Also I made some valid remarks in my comment and you don't even mention anything about that. You could have said to me, privately, that maybe I should change that. Also it says "you would be" not "you are an idiot".

Thanks for the change

Yes, it's better (it's accurate). If the rumor turns out to be true, the title can always be changed to reflect that.

Just trying to help

Considering that just yesterday Nick wrote a xombyte urging people to refrain from personal attacks, saying that someone would a "total idiot" for voting for a particular candidate is not cool. If you think that makes me a "comment police chief," whatever.

How About This...

"It would be a move that would not be in anyone's best interest if you vote for McCain".....better?? Thank you Idlewild, Xomba Comment Police Chief.

I Will Fix The Title

Better?

Title of xombyte should be changed

Idlewild - Fri, 2008-29-8 9:44 am
...because it is totally inaccurate. (Doesn't this violate Xomba's rule against posting inaccurate or misleading information?)

Frankie says relax

"you would be a total idiot for voting for McCain. " Mrbronco, I think this statement is dangerously close to the kind of comment that Xomba wants to prevent.

Moot point

Idlewild - Fri, 2008-29-8 9:30 am
I think the whole Palin issue is a moot point... Karl Rove is not going to go for her, for the reasons I mentioned. And Karl Rove is closely advising McCain on his VP choice (he has supposedly been lobbying hard for McCain to NOT choose Joe Lieberman for VP). The VP is a heartbeat away from the presidency, as they say... if McCain falls ill, I don't think many people will be comfortable with a person with less than two years as a governor, and whose previous experience consists of being on the Wasilla City Council. NOTE: Palin's Wikipedia article now contains the notice: "Editing of this article by new or unregistered users is currently disabled until September 5, 2008."
