The AUDACITY of despair

Just when you thought you knew all the political maneuverings involved in seating a U.S. president, McCain comes along with a predictably unpredictable new "low". Not only should his supporters be upset but the entire country as well!!!!!!!!! Talk about insult.

Not only was this an insult to the political process and constitution but to every business model used since...[H]e would rather put an entire nation at risk by endorsing a no-name, no-experience of relevance person to take on the responsibilities of VP of the U.S., than to wage a formidable toe-to-toe battle with his opponents.

I bet Sarah Palin is a lovely wife,wonderful mother of five, patriotic and small town political force to be reckoned with - but PLEASE don't underestimate the intelligence of Hillary's supporters or "18 million cracks" according to Palin. I must say a Hilary/Sarah debate would be quite entertaining despite evidence that the only commonality between these two women is gender...and if the logic of McCain's choice was to justify Obama's lack of foreign policy experience claim, yet WON the votes as the party's Presidential candidate, then that reasoning really shows how much McCain is anti-everything the political process stands for and along with a blatant disrespect to his party's more viable candidates.
