McCain selects Palin as running mate

Not to get all politicky on you, but McCain has just announced his selection for VP. Sarah Palin, the governor of my own state of Alaska. Interesting choice. My husband and I speculated months ago about this possibly happening. While she comes from a state with only 2 electoral votes, as opposed to one of the more populated states down south, she is a strong leader and has been systematically beating down corruption in our state since her election. Her position on Anwar is opposite that of McCain, and since it IS her state, I'd like to think that will weigh in a bit as well. She's obviously female, so she fills the billet emptied by the dreaded HC, but she is prettier, softer, younger, and not evil, as far as I can tell. She has a handicapped kid. She's not one of the DC parasites. Bound to help against Obama. Should McCain become president and die (he's older than dirt, folks), she is a capable person to run the country. And somehow it doesn't seem to be a big deal that she' a woman. Maybe because that isn't all she has to offer.

I think it was a smart choice, and like I said, an interesting one.

Funny thing. In the Yahoo News article about this choice, the last line reads:

She and her husband Todd Palin, have five children. The latest, a baby, was born with Down syndrome.

Of course it's a baby. What the hell do you think it is??? A puppy???

ha.

Given the leftist slant that McCain is known for, I agree that he needed someone who could pull in the conservative vote. Now I may actually vote for McCain solely on his VP selection. You should do more political stuff. You could discuss taxes, guns, extraction of oil from a frozen wasteland, etc., etc.

Now why would I not read the blog from someone who plants baby doll heads in flowerpots? Oh, and you're sorta like a friend as well.
