Mccain's VP pick

Well, when I first heard he picked a woman (a relatively unknown woman at that), I was shocked and kinda let down; I expected him to pick Romney, who is well-liked by conservatives and is a lot better to look at it than John Mccain. But the more I think about it, the more I realize this is an INGENIOUS move! I mean there are endless reasons it seems, that Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin was the best choice.

*First of all, she is also easier on the eyes than Mccain (hard to do huh?) and I might even say Romney too!

*Besides the fact that Obama is predicted as not getting a big 'bounce' usually expected after convention speeches, his speech's effect is being overshadowed by news of Mccain's radical choice.

*It pisses off Democrats because a female Vice President is as much of an historical event as a black man being elected President.

*She will undoubtedly attract even MORE former-Hillary (women) voters.

*She is VERY conservative, which is the fanbase Mccain needs to appeal more to, since he is closer to the middle of the road. She is very pro-life which is a huge plus for conservatives who were days ago worrying he would pick pro-choice Tom Ridge.

*Her oldest son Track, 19 yrs old, is currently serving in the military, which would prevent democrats against the war on terror from saying, "why don't you send YOUR kids to war then?"

*She lives in Alaska, and is FOR ANWR drilling, because she knows it's benefits will outweigh any consequences- especially considering that the reserve is not very populated with wildlife.

*She is much younger than Mccain, and makes him seem less 'old-fashioned.'

*but mostly, SHE IS INTERESTING! She's part of the NRA, was a commercial fisherwoman, likes to hunt, and is a former beauty pageant winner. everything a man could want! She has five kids, oldest 19 yrs, and youngest 5 months- her decision to have him despite having found out he had Down Syndrome, was applauded by the pro-life community. She has done photoshoots for Vogue Magazine where she said, "They had me in a bunch of furs," but she said she doesn't wear fur; she puts it up on her walls! I thought that was funny.

After Obama bitched about Palin's inexperience, and her having been a small-town mayor, these are my favorite responses:

Campaign spokesman Jill Hazelbaker: “It is pretty audacious for the Obama campaign to say that Governor Palin is not qualified to be Vice President. She has a record of accomplishment that Senator Obama simply cannot match. Governor Palin has spent her time in office shaking up government in Alaska and actually achieving results — whether it’s taking on corruption, passing ethics reform or stopping wasteful spending and the ‘bridge to nowhere.’ Senator Obama has spent his time in office running for President.”

The campaign’s Michael Goldfarb adds: “She’s the Governor of Alaska and was the mayor of a small town, meaning she has more executive experience than Barack Obama and Joe Biden put together. But more than that, given Barack Obama’s comments earlier this year that small-town Americans “cling” to guns, religion, and xenophobia out of economic anxiety, it’s troubling that Obama’s campaign has now attacked Governor Palin for having been the mayor of a small-town, as if that wouldn’t qualify her to carry Senator Obama’s bags.”

Booyah!
SO can you tell I like her? She makes me like Mccain a little more. Good job Mccain.
Here's a photo of her when she was in a beauty pageant in 1984:
