The presumed Republican Presidential Candidate Senator John McCain has just made 1st term Alaska Govenor, Sarah Palin his choice as his vice presidential running mate.
She’s 44, with 5 children, is a pro life self described hockey Mom with a life time membership in the NRA,and hails from a very important energy state. McCain has to convince the country that he too can be a change agent. I guess after last night’s amazing Democratic pageantry, McCain has to do something to make it happen. He’s going after the women and independent vote in one fell swoop. This is a huge roll of the dice and it proves the Republicans are scrambling to run an idealogical campaign of sorts. Govenor Palin is attractive (Miss Alaska runner up), young and poised to become a power player in conservative politics. Economic and social conservatives are going to love this pick. McCain has shockingly picked a Capitol Hill/ Beltway outsider in hopes of shaking off any Obama luster achieved last night.
This has made things interesting hasn’t it? Given McCain's abysmal women’s rights record, what does this say to women? Is Govenor Palin ready to be our Commander in Chief? She’s a blunt speaker but I think that Senator Biden will trounce her in the VP debate.
Hillary just has to be pissed off about McCain's choice for VP.
