You may have to go to the ends of the earth (aka Alaska) these days to find a relatively untainted, un-bought politician but I think McCain did it. She is the Governor of Alaska Sarah Palin. This lady’s resume’ looks almost too good, she’s a self described Hockey mom, a devout Christian and she lives in a little town of about 7,000. Her husband is a rugged outdoorsman and blue collar oil worker. To the dismay of many democrats her surprise nomination as McCain’s running mate has totally cut short the ga-ga, idol worshiping by the media following B.O.’s big speech.
Pundits had long been considering that a woman running mate for Barrack Obama would be the clincher for winning the presidency. Now McCain has that advantage and it makes Obama’s choice of Joe Biden look dull, uninspired and worse, as something done to shore up Obama’s obvious lack of experience. B.O. needs the women’s vote desperately and women just aren’t warming up to him like they did for Clinton. Old Joe Biden has
made 3 runs for White House and lost soundly each time. He’s a Washington insider who was elected to the Senate at the age of 30 and stayed because he delivered for the special interests. Biden represents everything we shouldn’t like about career politicians. Then suddenly from out of the wild blue, along comes Sarah to give him a run for his special interest money and it just may give those undecided women voters a new reason to support the McCain ticket!
