Wow, someone pinch me and tell me that John McCain didn’t just pick Alaska’s Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice President choice! What the hell was he and his advisers thinking?

I don’t know. On one hand I can see how he just stole any momentum that Obama may have had coming off the Democratic Convention. He’s upstaged Obama by choosing a woman Governor with little experience. I’m sure the talking heads in the media will have a field day with this one. If this was McCains plan, he succeeded.

Down the road, I can see this hurting his campaign. With all the credible and experienced people he could have chosen that would have helped him win Northeast states, like Lieberman or Romney, why he chose Palin is beyond me.

I don’t see him winning many of those states now. Especially the big ones like PA and NJ. He would have had a good chance with Lieberman, Romney or Ridge. Also, if he’d chosen Lieberman, you could have just about sewed up Florida.

I know, I know, you’re not suppose to pick your VP just because they can deliver swing states. John McCain certainly proved that he wasn’t after the states his VP choice could win him. I mean, gosh John, you think Alaska is really going to come into play with its 2 electorial votes?

I’ve been reading about Governor Palin for about the last year. She has done some pretty tough things in Alaska. But at the end of the day, she has zero foreign policy experience. (I know some of you Liberals out there believe Alaska is a foreign country, so I won’t tell you any different here)

Perhaps John McCain is going after the women voters? As tough as Palin is, I don’t see many women relating to a woman who hunts, ice fishes, rides snow machines and eats Moose burgers.

No, when I heard John had picked Palin, I had a very sick feeling deep down. I hope this doesn’t come back to bite him in the posterior, but I believe it just might.

It looks like both candidates have missed good opportunities to tie up the election in the last two weeks. Obama missed out by not tapping Hillary for the VP job and now John McCain has missed by not tapping someone with more experience.

Of course, Obama has good reasons for not choosing Hillary. I mean, that would be like living with a dog that bites you every chance it gets. Letting the Clinton’s back into power would be far more dangerous for this Country this time around than it was last time they were into power. I doubt we have many more secrets that they can give to China.
