Sorry, but I gotta rant. Seems like every time I go to a news site, there are two or three articles about Sara Palin on there, and none or one on McCain, Obama, or Biden. Other than the fact that she's a physically attractive woman, there's not a single thing to recommend her. No experience, no vision, no accomplishments, nothing. And she's under investigation by a Republican-controlled legislature no less. What the hell was McCain thinking when he chose her? I watched her in the debates and she was not impressive. Give her a question and she'd flounder around for a few moments until she remembered what the official line was, and then she'd repeat it verbatim. She makes Dan Quayle look like a brilliant elder statesman. The press likes to repeat her line about being a "pit bull", but she's really more like a yappy chihuahua.
If McCain wanted a woman, there are many who are far, far, far more qualified. Even Elizabeth Dole, my current state senator (who I just voted against via absentee ballot) would be a better choice.
In a normal election, the choice of a Veep isn't that important. And it really wasn't for Obama this year, either. But for McCain, it is. Face it, the guy's 72 years old. At the end of his first term, he'd be 76. The odds of him keeling over from a heart attack or experiencing the onset of dementia (like Reagan did) or something similar are fairly high. If he's to be a viable candidate, he needs a strong backup. Palin isn't it. In fact, she's the opposite.
End of rant.
