What's her name

Richard: do not read this!

I just know the Republican Party is full of active seasoned female politicians who must now be seething inside over their candidate's choice of a vp, someone who hasn't been on the scene for long and one who if she took her party's position on "family values" would be home concentrating on her role as mother. At least Hilary had her child raised and she knew what she was doing. This poor soul is caught up in the excitement, but let's see how she handles the real deal, campaigning on her own without wild John leeriing at her side. And how long do you think they can keep the press away from her? Sooner or later she's going to have to answer their questions.

I actually expected the convention delegates to fight him on this thoughtless choice. I guess I'm incapable of reasoning like a Republican. As far as I am concerned it boils down to bad judgment on his part given his age, etc. If he should win he will have done a major disservice to the country.

Did they actually think Hilary voters would vote for him because he picked a beauty queen with all the beliefs of the right wing? Surely there are a lot more qualified women in the Republican Party. Now, when this one screws up all female politicians will feel the bias spread. And don't we expect a presidential candidate to pick someone he or she knows? Or did someone else do the picking? Either way I'm convinced we'll learn something more about her that will reenforce McCann's poor judgment.

It is certainly one of the more interesting election campaigns, but we need leadership not a soap opera.
