Why did Johnny Mac pick Sarah Palin?
August 31, 2008 – 1:01 pmOh I’ve heard all of the conventional wisdom: 
- She’s a woman and can pick off disaffected Hillary supporters.
- At 44, she offsets McCain’s age problem
- She has a very strong conservative record. She’s pro-life and pro-guns. (Exhibit A to the right: an AP photo of her posing with a caribou she shot.)
But there’s another reason no one’s mentioning, at least not in polite conversation: she’s gorgeous. I mean, have you seen her photos? She’s a former beauty queen and her looks have only improved with age. Look at that bone structure!
It’s no secret that, in the age of television, looks are crucial to getting elected. John Edwards was paying hundreds for his haircuts. John Kerry was rumored to have received botox treatments. Hillary Clinton wore a pound of makeup to cover her wrinkles. Candidates that look good naturally have a leg up.
I’m not the first to notice that Palin is easy on the eyes. Craig Ferguson thinks she has the “naughty librarian” thing going:
McCain, of course, looks every bit his age. Read this brief account of his time in the Hanoi Hilton and it’s amazing he looks as good as he does.
Not to demean Gov. Palin and her achievements, but maybe McCain made the pick so he could get the youth male vote. After all, Obama already has young women locked up:

Having dated a lady from Alaska and having met other fine beauties from the state, I must conclude that if Palin won a “beauty” contest there, it must have been as corrupt as their political system and I would question “how and why” she won! Give me a break, a beauty? UGH

She seemed over joyed that her son was in the Army and had orders to Iraq. I felt that was an odd response from a mother.

I think John McCain is in WAY over his head. I for one agree that she is beautiful. More importantly, she is a confident articulate speaker. She happens to be much more conservative than John himself! He will have trouble roping her in. There is no question about her patriotism and pro life stance…after listening to her speak, it is obvious she is passionate about her role…good luck Johnny!

I have the FEELING that Sarah Palin aka “The Barracuda”, would know exactly how to FIT IN at Johnny McSame’s unathorized old US Navy TAILGATE Reunions and CardGames the Good Old GOP Flyboys.
Go For Broke Johnny Mac KNOWS he is the merely the BIG STEPPING STONE if Ms NRA Mooseburger swings this roll of the GOP political DICE.
Don’t CROSS her McSame. If she goes GUNNING for her ex-bother-in-law Alaskan State Trooper with BOTH BARRELS loaded for BARE, just IMAGINE what she’ll do to you old man.
