About all I can say of McCains pick of Palin is “Wow, that took balls”. For all of her detracter who want to know about her and her experience all I can say is it’s much better to have a person as President who knows what’s going on and has the experience to deal with it and chooses a less experienced vice president than it is to have a very inexperienced President with a vice president who is Washinton establishment at it’s finest.
The president is supposed to be in charge and that’s what McCain will be. Sheesh, remember Dan Quayle? Yeah, I know, I’d rather not remember him either. I doubt Palin will be near as bad. Almost no one could be as bad.
Back to the president is supposed to be in charge. McCain doesn’t have the problem there that Obama does. McCain is experienced, Obama isn’t. McCains VP doesn’t have much national experience. Obamas pick of Biden made sure the VP knows more than the President. That’s a lot like Bush and Cheney if you think about it. Lol, how’d that work out?
It’s to bad the RNC had to be scaled back as much as it was. However McCain and the Republicans were in a no win position. He really could have used the boost from the convention and we all would have found out more about Palin. If he didn’t scale back and the hurricane was a horribly huge disaster he would have been accused of not caring.
There’s another problem with hurricane Gustav and that’s if the govt doesn’t do one hell of a lot better job than they did with Katrina, McCain is an sutomatic loser in the Presidentail election. I doubt the people will put up with the govt screwing things up so disaterously, twice. Considering it’s the Republicans that have been in charge for both hurricanes they’d better do one hell of a lot better this time.
Hurricane Gustav is almost the perfect definiton of Karma where politics is concerned. Neither side can control the weather, all they can do is rect to what happens. McCain has much more at stake if it’s as badly mishandled as Katrina was.
