Palin

[2eclipse]

what i've been hearing on the radio - and i agree with - is that the fundamentalists love her because of her pro-life stance. but many conservatives are turned off by the choice because they see it as insulting. it looks to them like mccain is pandering to women, and that he has the very wrong idea that ANY woman will draw women to his ticket.
it isn't that sara palin isn't smart that is the problem. and it isn't even that she was a beauty queen. it's the idea that she's the MOST qualified out of all the female politicians out there, and the best for the job.
mccain has said this election isn't about the issues, it's about personality. well he is consistant. he picked a good speaker with a lot of intelligence and charisma who will be a refreshing change from bush in that department, and someone who is not ruled by the party line - like mccain himself. mccain put his money where his mouth is, and i respect him for it, along with many other things.
the problem is that i think he's wrong. this election IS about issues.

Exactly. That's another thing that makes me upset. I see a woman finally getting close, and it's just done all wrong. Wrong reasons, and certainly not the best pick.
