Not counting the McCain donors who've been pretending to be
converted Hilary supporters, the real former Hilary supporters don't
plan to vote against Obama, a man, by casting their vote for McCain,
another man whose politics are all the opposite of the party they
support. Even if he trots out a woman whose foreign policy expertise
consists of being located somewhere right across the ocean from
Russia.
Another interesting aspect of Palin's choice as Veep is that the
Obama people *can't* criticize Palin's lack of experience without the
spotlight reflecting right back on their candidate's woeful lack of
testing.
That cuts both ways. Not only did McCain pull the rug out from under
his own argument, but Palin is completely "untested" with no
national-level experience at all.
Bottom line: Palin has more experience (and, more importantly, more
*executive* experience running a state government) than Obama has in
the Senate.
Well, only the shallow thinkers would conclude that without any
details. There are many office holders that are "experienced" in ways
that we would not want to suffer. I'll wait for the vetting process to
decide about Palin.
BTW: Your choice of language -- and bias -- is telling, Stella.
Imagine, a man "trotting out" a woman, like this is some sort of
equestrian event?
It's better than McCain's attitude as reflected in his offering up
Cindy as a porno contestant at Sturgis. Or, did you miss that one?
Well I sure did! They're sounding beter al the time!
