Reality Check

But then it's back to politics as usual. I mean, Sarah Palin as VP? Give me a break. My two years of high school debate 40 years ago probably make me more qualified in foreign relations than she is. Good heavens, is the McCain campaign so desperate for Alaska's 3 electoral votes and the conservative Christian vote that he'll take along a 2-time mayor of a small town as the actual, honest-to-God vice-presidential candidate of the Republican Party of the United States of America? Holy cow.
Come to think of it, though, this takes care of one of the McCain campaign's financial problems. They can't afford to open a real office, let alone campaign up here, so they're betting that selecting our little governor as his running mate will sew up this battleground state. Talk about cynical. The Republican party must take us for a miserable bunch of rubes. Give 'em a pretty face and some "family values" (wait, doesn't she work full time out of the home - and with an INFANT? What kind of family value is that?) Sorry, folks, but this is huge incentive for me to hit the streets to spread the word for Obama.
