My Transcript:
Noonan: [Can't hear since Todd (who is still on air) is talking over her]
Murphy: Um, you know, because …I come out of the blue swing state governor work: Engler, Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, I mean, and these guys, …this is how you win a Texas race, just run it up, and it’s not gonna work.
Noonan: It’s Over.
Murphy: Still, McCain can give a version of the Lieberman speech and do himself some good.
Todd: Don’t you think this Palin pick is insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson to…
Noonan: I saw Kay this morning…
Todd: She’s never looked comfortable about…
Murphy: –They’re all bummed out.
Todd: I mean, is she really the most qualified woman they can turn to?
Noonan: The most qualified? No. I think they went for this, excuse me, political bullshit …about narratives and youthfulness and the picture…
Todd: Yeah, for the narrative.
Murphy: I totally agree.
Noonan: Every time Republicans do that– because that’s not where they live and it’s not what they’re good at– they blow it.
Murphy: You know what’s the worst thing about it? The greatness of McCain is no cynicism, and…
Murphy and Todd together: This is cynical.
Todd: And as you called it: gimmicky.
———-
Bear in mind that Murphy is a close confidant of McCain’s, and that the three are not just criticizing Palin, they are unloading on McCain for his pick.
Give it a rest Doug. No one cares!
Is he quoting Noonan? She is a complete joke.
Noonan is a joke? Ronald Reagan and HW did not seem to think so. Peggy Noonan is the same as she was 20 years ago, it is the party that has changed.
And MA blows a gasket in three… two… one…
Noonan is a true conservative still in support of this candidate, but this choice was one conceived by the idealouges, not McCain himself and the choice reeks of panic. It was, in my opinion, a poor choice but one that he will hopefully recover from.
I don’t hate her, although if she is a Hockey mom, how come none of her kids ever played hockey?
And I hope Brittany and K-Fed are very happy together. (That part was a joke.)
Um. It’s Fiance Levi Johnston, not boyfriend. Not that the MSM would care about that distinction.
Cent: Why do you hate McCain so much?
In response to Politico’s “How long will McCain live?” http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0908/13096.html, may I suggest that Palin is an avid moose hunter.
The real question here is, “How long will Obamoose live?”
Palin. Hey, Palin. Go!
Mike I know that you fall in lock step with whomever the idealouges tell you to, but just because I disagree with McCain on his choice of running mate doesn’t mean I hate him.
I have said on this site for years that I simply wish the more moderate forces in the party would speak up. This time when McCain mentioned several moderate choices that would have brought in politically middle minded people, Rove (from written reports) and the fringe in the party pushed for a choice made purely for ideological choices and John Caved.
I understand that you see if differently, I am OK with that, and like I wrote above… I don’t hate Palin. I just wanted to keep the experience argument on our side.
In the end, Cent, it doesnt matter what anyone says or thinks, especially the ‘talking heads’. All that will matter is the final vote tally on election day. From the looks and sounds of things, you libs are running scared. And with good reason.
Your candidate doesn’t have any experience and he’s running for PRESIDENT. Sarah Palin was picked for VICE PRESIDENT. There’s a difference.
I don’t see that the “experience” argument has been lost, but been reinforced, CentFla. I’ve long been lamenting that we have no governors in the mix. I don’t trust Senators on executive administration. Very different tasks.
I think Giuliani says it best… and he should know, having been a long time mayor of the Apple.
Add to that, Alaska is so far removed from the lower 48, she regularly engages in business negotiations and state regulations/permits with CEOs of oil companies, and foreign powerhouses of the Asian countries as well. This isn’t like a governor of IL, who’s surrounded by the other 48 states for interstate business regulations. Alaska has major foreign investors, from gold mines to metal companies.
They also deal with the foreign intrusion into their waters for commercial fishing.
mccain made a good pick, she has the left scared and thats all that matters. their families all look good together and i find it interesting that the left is trying to attack a child, a child. if the right did that it would be over big time.
The Governor of Hawaii is speaking now at the Convention and she is reminding people about the executive experience that former Mayors and Governors have and how it contrasts with the ZERO executive experience on the Obama Biden ticket.
