Pardon my language, but I think we're phucked.
No, JS, you know I'm way more conservative than liberal but this choice truly concerns me. Obiden can't be too unhappy.
See GM, you are thinking like an intelligent, informed American. As usual. But that's not how most people think. Republicans have known this for years. They know America wants a President you can have a beer with. Not one who reads books.
This time, they are giving America a fairly boring number one. And adding a number two that millions of Americans want to have much more than a beer with. (Not to suggest Sarah isn't highly intelligent. She is. But that's not the part of her millions will vote for.)
But to your point -- I agree. McCain is 72 and has a history with cancer. She is the former mayor of a city of five thousand people. She is the first term governor of a state with about 600 thousand people. Idaho has almost twice as many.
Compared to Obama-Biden...Obama will have had four years Senate experience, including stints on the foreign affairs and armed services committee. Not a lot of experience. But more than Palin. And still, Obama's youth is no gaurantor against disaster. He could die. He could be assassinated. So then Joe Biden looks like an infinitely better pick.
But you and I both now, it's no longer about who is best for America. In either party. It's about who wins the most votes.
