Many people voted for George W. Bush because they thought it'd be fun to have a beer with him. A lot of people want to vote for McCain/Palin who didn't want to before... In The Metro this morning I read about a woman who was going to sit out this election, but is now voting Republican becaus Palin is a "down to earth mom like me." While

I have no love for the woman. Just because she has a vagina doesn't mean she has woman's best interests in mind. I'd never vote Cindy Phelps into office just because she was a uterus carrying member. The fact that they want to take away incentives for companies who offer healthcare plans terrifies me. The fact that she can see rape as less important then standard crime scares me. The fact that mccain consistently dances round answering anything weirds me out. The fact that abstinence only education is huge and no one seems to focus on government restructure or funding of social programs worries me...
No, I don't think obama is any special coup de etat on the government at hand. Now a days it's impossible to be elected unless you're a moderate. I do think he's by far the lesser of the two evils.
I also appreciated that he picked biden instead of hilary. I feel that biden was a strategical choice for the future of the government. He may not be a female or a minority or someone who would shake up the election, but he knows what the hell he's doing and he'll be a super valuable asset to obama if he's elected.
Mccain picked the flash in the pan. Going for a female veep stole him the spotlight to the point where we argue obama vs palin instead of obama vs mccain. He's trying to razzle dazzle the audience and picked someone who made the race gain attention and not someone who can actually contribute anything worthwhile once in office.

Palin may biologically be female but she's not working on behalf of women, just herself and her party.

Thanks, Anne. I agree with you. I honestly have to do more research into Biden. I know that he has run before .. I know he has a lot of experience. That's all I know. If Hillary was picked it might have made some people happy, but it also would have been obvious pandering to the media and the public. Sometimes that's okay, but I'm guessing this was more strategic in the long run

sorry, I didn't mean to political vomit on you and I don't expect anyone to conform to my ideas, I was just pointing out how that woman is eeevil and a mccain political trick.
