Palin: Gun-totin’ mama dooms Obama
Sarah Palin

The choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (pronounced Pay-lin) as the vice-presidential running mate of Republican nominee John McCain is the most brilliant stroke in the history of American electoral politics.
Just as Democratic nominee Barack Obama took a giant step backward by selecting insider-retread Sen. Joe Biden as his running mate, McCain took just as big a step forward with picking lifetime NRA member Palin.
John McCain
Evangelical Christians have been cheering all day and will do so right up to election day Nov. 4. Disaffected Hillary Clinton supporters have a new magnet. The Republican ticket is now the perfect counterstroke to the youthful energy of the Obama camp.
If this election didn’t end with the ill-fated choice of a tired old Washington insider, Biden, on the Democratic ticket, it is really over with McCain’s choice of Palin, a pick that disarms every argument against McCain.
Bye, bye, Obama-sama.

Unfortunately
McCain has picked someone with almost no experience. McCain is old and it seems he has a few marbles lost when it comes to his memory. If he can't run the country or keels over with a heart attack, we would have a president with no prior experience in any kind of policy. Alaska is a big state with a small population. She is governor of basically a small town. The problems she has faced don't even begin to measure up to the real problems of the real world. If she does become president, then what? Will her hocky mom experience solve America's economic problems or a tet a tet with Russia? You better think long and hard about this vote.

... the Democrats have picked someone with almost no experience -- Obama-sama. He can't run the country and he has no prior experience in any kind of foreign policy. The problems he has faced don't even begin to measure up to the real problems of the real world. If he does become president, then what? Will his "community activist" experience solve America's economic problems or a tet-a-tet with Russia? You better think long and hard about this vote. (Do I hear an echo?)
