VICE PRESIDENTIAL FOLLIES. I’M TODD STARNES WITH THIS FOX NEWS AND COMMENTARY NEXT.
CLICK HERE TO SEE WHY SARAH PALIN LOVES TODD’S NEW BOOK, “DISPATCHES FROM BITTER AMERICA.”
ALL THE HULLABALOO OVER MITT ROMNEY’S TAX RETURNS
HAD THE FOLKS OVER AT POLITICO WONDERING —
IS THAT THE REASON JOHN MCCAIN DECIDED AGAINST PICKING ROMNEY
AS HIS NUMBER TWO IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT.
SENATOR MCCAIN SAYS THAT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
IN A POLITICO EXCLUSIVE – HE SAYS HE CHOSE SARAH PALIN
BECAUSE SHE WAS A BETTER CANDIDATE.
SAYS IT WAS DISGRACEFUL AND OUTRAGEOUS TO SUGGEST
THAT ROMNEY’S FINANCES HAD ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.
MCCAIN’S TOP CAMPAIGN ADVISOR TOLD THE HUFFINGTON POST THAT ROMNEY’S WEALTH
WAS SEEN AS A POLITICAL LIABILITY.
SO
USING MCCAIN’S LOGIC – WHY ISN’T MCCAIN CAMPAIGNING TO MAKE SARAH PALIN
ROMNEY’S RUNNING MATE?
SEEING HOW SHE’S THE BETTER CANDIDATE?
WE STILL DON’T KNOW WHO ROMNEY’S GOING TO PICK
BUT IN MY ESTIMATION
THE KEY TO PICKING A GREAT NUMBER TWO
IS TO MAKE SURE YOU DON’T STEP IN NUMBER TWO.
I’M TODD STARNES
Palin is probably the worst vice presidential candidate ever. No brains. No qualifications. Very little experience. Ignorant on issues of foreign policy. Left office halfway through her term while under a cloud of ethics violations.
If Romney was smart, he'd find someone with foreign policy credientials who is fiscally conservative and socially moderate. Someone with experience.
Social conservatives will not decide this election. Face it Starnes, your kind is a dying breed. People care about real issues that affect real people.
YES! YES!
ROMNEY-PALIN 2012!
And make sure you promise Cheney a position!
Romney-Palin 2012!
ha ha ha haha hahahahahahah!
And drag Rumsfeld out of whatever hole he's gone to ground in.

LOL – because that worked sooo well for McCain in 2004. And why is there a picture of Donald Trump as a VP candidate? Gtfo.
That would be a comedy writers wet dream!
Quit molesting that tree fagboy.
Hardly. All of them would get laid off. The jokes would write themselves.

No. I like Sarah Palin very much, but after the disaster of 2008, I don't think she would be a good choice for him.
Yes, absolutely he should! Bwahaha!
The media did a job on her and she had 10 times the credentials of Obama. Most of those who voted for McCain thought the tkt should of been Palin/McCain. She has said herself it is too soon.
Why bother worry about who Mittens is going to choose as a VP candidate? You're worrying about second place.
Come on, say it with me: "The present and future President of the United States……..Barack Hussein Obama!
And deep down, you all know it's going to happen too.
Allen West! lol!
After what she did to McCain's campaign, how can you possibly even consider Palin as a serious VP candidate again? It just proves that people just don't learn from history.
