Sarah Who?

John McCain may have taken all the news from him the day after Obama made his groundbreaking acceptance speech. But in choosing Sarah Palin, the two-year Governor from Alaska - did McCain hand the Oval Office over to Barrack Obama in the process? Along with many others, I think so.

What were they thinking! The McCain campaign seemed to be swirling in a desperate frenzy after Obama delivered a powerful message laced with both promise and particulars. Did McCain shoot from the hip, in hopes to overshadow the change candidate by trying to outdo him; or is this a simple ploy to wrest the supporters of Hillary Clinton - or both?

Palin has been the Governor of Alaska for a year-and a-half and lacks any foreign policy experience whatsoever. Before that she was the Mayor of a small village, literally! No offense to any moms, but is Sarah Palin, the self labeled "hockey mom" ready on day one if she needs to assume the position as leader of the free world! And with that resounding NO in mind, did John McCain make his choice based on the best interests of America or on his very own self interests? In other words, would he rather win an election than make certain his V.P is capable of protecting American citizens from all sorts of catastrophes if she has to assume the seat?

I think we know that answer.

Assuming that Hillary supporters will flock to vote for his new ticket, isn't McCain implying that women are easily swayed and simple-minded, to presume that they will vote for any woman candidate, regardless of what she stands for and even if she lacks the knowledge on so many issues, as far as we know. (For she refuses to talk to the media and show us otherwise. I found her one interview with ABC showed a real unfamiliarity with the issues on her part ).
