[Politics] Now we know who plays poker

[lysana]

So Obama raised the stakes with his acceptance speech last night like it was the last hand at the world poker championships.

McCain's attempt to see his bet by putting Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin on the table looks more like an attempt to hire a cocktail waitress. And I apologize to cocktail waitresses for the analogy.

PS - Yes, VPILF is a real

Her politics are appalling, and offer ample room for criticism.

So are the blogosphere trolls who skip right over the substance and straight to sexist attacks on her career choices ("shouldn't she be staying home with her kids?") and her looks.

I'll admit, though, that knowing McCain's history of womanizing, I find something a little creepy about seeing them together on the podium.

Agreed on the real sexism being thrown Palin's way. I'm also finding it preposterous that someone called Obama's people sexist for dinging her lack of experience (oh, gee, mayor of a town smaller than the one I grew up in... wow, there's exec experience for you right there). Can we fight the real enemy now, please?

And Palin is so McCain's type. If Cindy weren't Ms. Moneybags, I could see Johnny ditching her and convincing Sarah to leave the First Dude.

Oh, I bet McCain has Rove arrange to have Cindy offed and Palin's hubby imprisoned for it.

McCain picked his VP like he was picking a prospective girlfriend.
