“That would be Sarah Palin’s shame.”
JD had 6 terms? He puts out a commercial on how to get government handouts (Pork). And the people of Arizona have a choice between two people who they know well. Do they and Palin know something we don’t?
My daughter lives in Az and the choice wasn’t good but at least McCain, to them at least, was the lesser of two evils.
Your daughter listened to 21 million dollars worth of McCain lies and Palin endorsement. This is where McCain’s been for decades:
1988: Honored by La Raza for opposing official English
McCain attacked Proposition 106, a [AZ] statewide referendum that was being advanced by the so-called English-only movement. McCain told the teachers, “Why would we want to pass some kind of initiative that a significant portion of our population considers an assault on their heritage?”
Because of his position on the English-only initiative and his willingness to fight for a pluralistic American culture, McCain was one of 10 members of congress who were honored by the National Council of La Raza, a nationwide coalition of Hispanic organizations. In a speech at a ceremony in Washington, before an audience of 500, McCain again attacked English-only initiatives.
“The building of our great nation is not the work of immigrants from one or two countries, McCain said, ”Our nation and the English language have done quite well with Chinese spoken in California, German in Pennsylvania, Italian in New York, Swedish in Minnesota, and Spanish throughout the Southwest. I fail to see the cause for alarm now.“

So, your daughter favors amnesty for illegal aliens, weak border enforcement, closing Gitmo, considering any enhanced interrogation of terrorists to be torture, favors cap and trade, favored McCain/Feingold, believes barely one-half of one percent of the budget (earmarks) deserves more attention than entitlements.
They're in favor of amnesty and cap and trade. I'm sure Obama appreciates their indirect support of two of the major initiatives he needs to "transform America".
Or alternatively, maybe they believed everything McCain said during this campaign?
