Interesting choice
by John McCain — Sarah Palin has only been governor of Alaska for a year or so, but she seems to be a solid, reasonable person who is comfortable with governance.
Oh, and she’s pro-life, which is also really cool. And not just in some vapid “talk the talk” sense, either: one of her five kids has Down’s Syndrome.
So now, I guess, the American presidential race has gotten somewhat more interesting. The Democrats chose Barrack Hussein Obama over Hillary Rodham Clinton, and so missed a chance to put a woman in the White House. Now, McCain has decided to put Sarah Palin one heartbeat away from the Oval Office.
This seems to be an interesting move tactically for McCain. I’m curious to see how it pans out.
Update: Ace handles this with his usual odd humour here and here.
Best remark: “How many millions is SNL going to offer Tina Fey to come back to the show?”
Also: “Obama was a junior Senator from a state for about sixteen or seventeen months before he decided he was experienced enough to be president.
Sarah Palin has been the Chief Executive of a state for nearly two years… before running as Vice President.
But Obama wants to talk about how inexperienced she is.”
Update First Blood Part 2: CNN is evidently on Palin’s case concerning how the job of VP might conflict with her being a mother to a Down’s child.
My God, but the Left are a bunch of hypocritical morons — nobody would dare ask a Democrat female candidate, at any level of the political ladder, how she was going to manage her job as an elected official with her responsibilities as a mother. And anyone who did dare ask such a question wouldn’t keep his job long enough to ask it a second time.
But evidently, when the woman in question is more of a conservative, her place is in the home.
At least as far as CNN is concerned.
If this keeps up, McCain’s marketing team is going to have enough dirt to fling at Obama to last well into McCain’s term in office.
