Well McCain came out of left field for me with his VP choice. My first response was, whoa, not another young candidate in the mix with no experience. Then I watched her speech in Dayton and whoa turned to Wow. I LIKE her. Really, really like her.
So, just when I thought I’d gotten the parameters laid out, in comes the dark horse from Alaska. She’s got all the reform and non-partisan ideals I love. A maverick with no obligations to Washington, lobbyist and good old boys.
But, can she run a country? It’s a long way from Alaskan hockey mom to Chief Executive of the most powerful nation in the world. I know in an earlier entry I expounded upon the limitations of a VP in an administration, but with McCain being 72 years old, the possibility of Palin being handed the reins are probably already calculated by Vegas odds makers.

That was written last week. She’s certainly taken some hard shots since then. One of the strangest comments I heard was she better not let her hair down or she will be too sexy for male voters. Hillary never had that problem. Nor Geraldine Ferraro and definitely not Margaret Thatcher. Guess she better keep that hair up and glasses on. Wouldn’t do to have an attractive woman with political power.
The worst thing about Palin is that next to her, McCain looks like pathetic white stuffed sock puppet whose movements are controlled by a puppet master’s stick.

I thought it was an interesting turn of events. My main problem is that link to big oil. Her husband works for BP. That 'hill' that Bush has been wanting to drill in Alaska. He is involved. Strike one for me.
But I do like her.
And I am generally on the more open minded side of politics....
