Biden was completely for show, he brought nothing to the table except some white hair and wrinkles. Biden has contributed nothing since getting into office.

McCain chose Palin because he represented the white haired, wrinkled experience and he therefore need the youth. In addition McCain's wife was not made a celebrity by the media as Michelle Obama was so he also needed a figure to draw the women's votes. Palin was supposed to get both the female vote and the youthful vote.
Palin was also an appeal to the Conservative base. She was a governor who had balanced her state's budget and had battled big government in her state. I would agree, however, that Palin definately launched her national level political career before she was fully ready. A prepared Sarah Palin would have mopped the floor with Biden. Had she waited this one out and ran as a VP in 2012 after studying up on National Politics she would have been a much stronger pick.

That, and having a MILF as Commander in Chief would be distracting as well.
You, of course, can offer proof that she is a "fanatic", right?

Can you prove she isn't? Preferably in some sort of interview where she directly contradicts that she is. I'm sure you want us to get the same affirmation.

Can I prove you're not a baby killer, a dolphin molester, or a methane gas producer? No ... but then, I never made such a claim.

You said it ... you prove it.

Lol, Donkey1499 said it. I'm just saying that she necessarily is not one. And the fact that more and more conservatives are turning into the true christian stuff, so....maybe not her but still enough around the country.

If you worry that Obama will ruin our nation, what did you think of GW Bush when he was President?
Was he good for our country?

Re: Real reason McCain chose Palin
That would be a pwnage...

Though the whole concept of this thread is fallacious:

McCain didn't choose sh*t... though is is guilty of going along with it.

Palin was not a terrible choice, but neither was she the best. Palin was young and inexperienced, kind of like Barry. She had a lot more to offer than Biden though.
