In case of death, the stewardess can take over...

I have to credit bill maher tonight with this comment. Is John McCain smoking crack, no seriously, is he? My AP gov kids came in today with the news and I literally had to say "who" ? We immediately threw the lesson out the door and flew with what does she bring to the RNC table. She is the Governor of Alaska, pop 600,000 and a whopping THREE electoral votes. She from the state that has given us Mike Gravel and Ted Stevens. Yes, I played both sides, it you can said there is another side in the debate today.

Does McCain really think that women will flock to her just because she has 5 kids, including an infant with downs- how will the media spin that for god's sake, that her husband is a "real man" who owns a fishing company, she's in bed with Big Oil, and that she is Pro-Gun, Pro-Drilling, and Pro-Life.

Is she a cheap ploy to win over disgruntled Hillary voters? What a slap in the face to think that balancing the ticket with a women, we will flock to her. Who is doing his research? Not anyone from the last 8 years who have spun disaster after disaster into some type of slick Teflon image that lead to total avoidance of responsibility.

So in 24 hours, I have been moved to tears watching Obama accept the nomination and literally almost uttering what the hell at McCain's choice. I can only wait for the debates, Sarah Palin is going to make Dan Quayle into the smartest VP choice ever.
