Quote by Dee Dee Myers
Palin was a political Hail Mary, a long bomb in the closing minutes of a game that John McCain and Co. were certain to lose. They didn't care if she had the policy or political or emotional capacity to serve as vice president, let alone president. They were willing to drive the country off a cliff, if that's what it took to win.
Summary
The quote suggests that Sarah Palin's selection as John McCain's running mate in the 2008 presidential election was a desperate and calculated move. It implies that McCain's team knew they were destined to lose the election and saw Palin as a last-ditch effort to gain an advantage. The quote further implies that her qualifications and ability to serve in high office were secondary considerations compared to the desire for victory, implying a willingness to take drastic risks regardless of potential consequences for the country.
