Just heard the snake James Carville on CNN, attempt to ridicule Sarah Palin because of her pro-life social conservatism and support for Pat Buchanan in his run for President. BFD. Carville was also trying to make the case that McCain had only met Palin only once before he chose her as his running mate. 360 Cooper corrceted him and said they met twice. Again, BFD!
Meanwhile, the change agent Barack Obama decided to choose the consumate WashDC political insider in Joe Biden. 35 years in the Senate and a liberal socialist to his core values and beliefs.
This campaign has developed into a classic case of liberalism versus conservatism. Right versus wrong.
The McCain-Palin discussions go back over a year ... in July 2007 my cousin in Juneau told me the McCain runners had spent ten days in and about Alaska vetting Governor Palin.
Somebody help me with this ‘no experience’ thing.
What experience, other than being governors, did Carter and Clinton have? Jeez, at least Carter had run a farm; Clinton was always at the government teat.
Palin is the governor of Alaska, and from what I’ve read so far, has more experience and proven leadership, than Obama. I think the ‘no experience’ mantra is going to wear thin as Alaskans start chafing when they realize that ‘no experience’ = Alaska doesn’t matter.
“This campaign has developed into a classic case of liberalism versus conservatism. Right versus wrong.”
VP picks are bread and circuses for the masses, Cheney’s extraordinary role in the bush administration aside.
I would characterize this as ‘blatantly for-sale-to-foreign-power catspaw’ (this is obama, who must be totally overwhelmed by what has happened the last 4 years of his life and totally out of his league) vs. ‘i am a globalist and already have my client list, thank you’ McCain.
VP picks are window-dressing to try to alter electoral outcomes via whatever dynamic.
