What a silly pick. If McCain thinks Hillary's most die-hard supporters are going to vote for a woman who is against abortion, even in cases of rape or incest, he's nuts. It's also an incredibly hypocritical pick. His biggest criticism of Obama has been his inexperience. So he picks a 44 year old soccer mom and ex-beauty queen, whose served less than two years as Alaska's governor? Alaska? A state with a population under 700,000? LOL.
The 600 pound gorilla in the room is, the fact that there's a real chance McCain will not survive his first term. Politics aside, he's 72 and has had four bouts with cancer. She seems like a nice person, but is she ready to be President? Come on. McCain's other criticism of Obama was that Obama is more interested in becoming President than doing what's right for the country. He actually accused Obama, that he'd choose to lose a war to win an election. Given his aforementioned age and health issues, is picking an unqualified V.P., who very well could be our President, doing what's right for the country or doing what's right for getting elected?
It's pure pandering and everyone is going to see right through it, especially when the Democrats have strong, intelligent, respected women like Hillary, Nancy Pelosi, Barbara Boxer, etc. eviscerate this woman and her lack of qualifications. And does anyone really think she's going to hold her own against Biden in the VP debates? Let's be fair, whether you're a Democrat or Republican, if the V.P. was to become President, do you want Joe Biden sitting across from Putin when there's a Russian crisis or Sarah?
What I like about this pick is it reeks of desperation. The fact that the McCain campaign felt the need to throw a Hail Mary (as many have called this pick) so early in run up, means they're very worried.
