Sarah who?
I know John McCain's nomination for his VP has already been mentioned, but it was so shocking to me that I just have to comment on it. First of all, I don't think his nomination could have been any more transparent. It is obvious that he chose Sarah Palin strictly because she is a woman. However, the idea that women who supported Hillary Clinton will vote for Palin just because she is a woman is an insult to intelligent women. Sarah Palin is the complete opposite of Hillary Clinton in every way. I can't fathom what would make McCain think this was a good strategy. On Meet The Press Sunday morning, a Republican strategist was interviewed on the show. Even he was perplexed by McCain's choice and basically believed it was one of the biggest mistakes McCain could have made. McCain already has so many strikes against him, mainly his age and his history of cancer. What if something were to happen to McCain? This woman, who has no foreign policy experience and has only been the governor of Alaska for 18 months, would be our next president. People would have to be insane to trust this woman with so much power. McCain could not look more hypocritical after accusing Obama of having too little experience. I don't see how McCain could win after this choice, and I hope people can see that voting for McCain would be a huge mistake.

I completely agree. I was watching This Week with George Stephanopoulos on Sunday, and during the Round Table discussion some of the candidates thought even though she has little experience and such strong conservative views that she would actually help out McCain. This is not going to happen. The fact that she has a 4 month old son with Down's Syndrome and a 17 year old who's 5 months pregnant makes it seem as though running for VP is her way of running from the struggles of her family life that she doesn't want to deal with right now. If anything the women votes McCain is trying to seal are going to shift over to Obama. There's no way this lady would be able to run this country if something were to happen to McCain; she can;t even run her own family. I think the McCain camp failed to investigate this woman as completely as they should have, and now, this is going to be a choice he regrets because it will guarantee him a loss of votes, not a seat in the Oval Office.
Commenting on Palin's lack of experience, Obama is in the same boat as her in terms of inexperience. Wouldn't you rather have an experienced president with an inexperienced vice president than the other way around?
