We’ve watched too much West Wing or Commander in Chief

Haven’t we? Otherwise we’d all be thinking that Sarah Palin was a great choice by John McCain! A great choice for a President Barack Obama morelike !

She doesn’t like polar bears very much, didn’t know what a vice president does (obviously not watching the telly like we do!), she tried to get her brother in law sacked but when she could not she sacked his boss instead, and is under investigation. For the full scoop from an alaskan bloggers point of view have a look at Mudflats.

But best of all she has to go head to head with Biden in a few weeks in a veep debate (that’ll be worth getting the popcorn out for!)

A heartbeat away from pressing that button. She’s no Hillary and she’s definitely no Geena Davies…

    Both candidates and their running mates are bad news and all Washington insiders when you look them up. Here’s my expose on Obama, McCain, and Clinton. Required reading for all voters.

    Ah come on! –

    The republicans have said Obama has very little experience – so they choose a former small town mayor with 2 years experience as a governor!

    The republicans have said Obama is a “celebrity” candidate so they pick a former beauty queen

    The republicans want to attract disgruntled Hillary supporters yet they pick a strong anti choice, anti gay woman (obviously though she has previously trotted “some of my best friends are gay”)

    Interesting that all the extreme pro-lifers are now cheering McCain/Palin like mad

    So someone who was running a place smaller than Killarney or even Ennis up to 2 years ago could be a heartbeat or a melanoma away from being leader of the free world? And she has made her name with attacking corrupt self enriching politicians who were Republicans!

    Fact is if McCain feels he has to do this (picking someone who is very avowedly pro-life) to shore up his support against his base then he must be in real trouble with them.

    The Alaskan blogs are reporting that Mc Cain’s people didn’t check Palin out and they are on their way to Alaska to find out more about Troopergate- Holy Shit, if this is the level of considered decision-making we can expect from a Mc Cain administration… then batten down the hatches, there’s a storm coming and its not called Gustav.
