As an Obama supporter, I think she was exactly the right choice. McCain will get the benefit of receiving at least 50% of the 300,000 voters in Alaska and a shot at the whopping 3 (count 'em - THREE!) electoral votes.
Not only that, she has extensive experience in government. She's the governor of Alaska (pop. 670,000). We can assume from that piece of information that she received at least 115,000 votes. WOW! There's more people than that still living in New Orleans. Not only that, but she's got extensive experience in administering a municipality. I mean, Wasila, Alaska has a population of 8,500. There's more people than that at our high school football game Friday night.
She's a member of the NRA which means she'll probably get the Bubba vote. Oh wait. McCain's already got the "Bubba" vote.
Well, she'll get big oil's vote. Oh, John's already got that too. Maybe she can get all those disaffected women who wanted Hilary to win the Democratic nomination. Those women might be pissed and may even have some grounds to be, but do you actually think those bright females are going to fall for such a cheap trick?
In short, if I wanted to pick a candidate that would ensure that I lose the election, I couldn't have done better. Looks like Karl Rowe missed this one. Guess he's getting old and a little off his game.
Go get 'em John.
What a succinct and funny statement on McCain. Actually, it's not simply a reflection on him, but also a reflection on the "good ole boy" network that has ridden this country into the state we are in now: high oil prices (that WILL go higher), decaying infrastructure, an impoverished and increasingly impotent middle class, a lumpen proletariat that equals Czarist Russia in its population and class stratification, and no real hope but some vague promise of "stick with me and things will get better."
That "good ole boy" network isn't confined to McCain's party, but to all those privileged who actually believe the illusion that everything's working perfectly.
