I was so excited when McCain picked Sarah Palin as his VP Nominee! I love when politicians throw the media a curve ball. Plus, I think it was a risky, yet brilliant pick by McCain. Yes, she's inexperienced, but she's a unique mix of a woman and a strong conservative. I think McCain can reassure his base AND pick up women voters from Hilary Clinton at the same time!
Nevertheless, I still think he's playing from behind in this election. I'm actually surprised that Obama doesn't have a much bigger lead. But we'll see what happens.
Oh, and did you hear that Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter is pregnant? I'm not sure it'll effect the election in a big way, but it is significant that McCain knew about this when he picked Palin. I think the story will blow over in a day or so, especially with Obama refusing to attack McCain on family or character issues (which is a GREAT example, btw). We'll just have to watch and find out!
having googled Sarah , I feel like she better represents the American women, as compared to Hillary. I appreciate her honesty and integrity in dealing with her pregnant daughter... a difficult situation for any parent
