My Immediate Response to McCain's Running Mate Choice

I just did a 30 minute quick study on Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin and here is my trigger response:

1. I think that this pick shows that McCain is scared. He doesn't feel confident that he has enough support on his own, so he is going after Hillary supporters. The sad thing is that educated Hillary supporters should be offended by this pick. This women is pro-life, a member of the NRA, supports drilling in the Alaskan Wildlife Refuge and was a former beauty queen. By that description, she is the anti-feminist candidate!

2. What about McCain's rock-solid stance on "experience"?! He picks a woman who has only been a state governor for 20 months, and before that was a commercial fishing company owner, an outdoor recreation company owner, and a sportscaster?! Well, that makes me feel good to know that she would be our second in charge should McCain get elected! Those are the perfect qualifications for becoming president if the 72 year old McCain becomes ill or dies while in office.

3. This choice in running mate was to help McCain get elected to office, not to make him part of a stronger, smarter team once placed into office! That, in and of itself, should be offensive to Americans. We do not deserve for the future leaders of our country to chosen based on who will make you more look more popular, cuter or younger!
