Sarah PalinPosted 3 months, 6 days ago., on Friday, August 29th, 2008, at 8:07 am  So, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is apparently going to be McCain’s running mate. An interesting choice. I wonder if McCain’s gunning for the disaffected Hillary Democrats who feel spurned by the party’s choice of Obama over Clinton? If so, will her anti-abortion / pro-drilling stance still appeal to the Clinton holdovers? It’s also kind of a confusing pick for me, since McCain has been working so hard to win over the evangelical right-wingers, many of whom have difficulty with the notion of a woman in a position of authority (though I guess they did grudgingly accept Rice as Secretary of State). Is McCain going after centrist/moderate Republicans who have felt disenfranchised by their own party, many of whom have declared their intention to support Obama/Biden? She’s also younger than Obama, which may undermine McCain’s attacks on Obama’s inexperience. I wonder what Geraldine Ferraro has to say about this? At any rate, this campaign has already been making history. McCain’s upped the ante, and I commend his choice, but I still plan on voting for Obama, and so should you.

You’re missing the fact that she is smokin’ hot… Which is something we can all agree is important to the country right now. You ought to put up some pics of her :)
Amazing - According to this LA Times blog, Palin was considered a no-go because of ethics issues: tinyurl.com/6b6l3b
Surely, ethics issues will only increase Palin’s appeal to the Republican party.
