McCain goes for it with 4th and long

McCain’s pick of Palin is ridiculous. It’s a hail merry. Full court shot at the buzzer. What’s ridiculous about it? It’s a clearly political ploy in which McCain is attempting to attract former Hillary supporters just because she’s a woman. Yet she follows the McCain/Bush agenda to the T—except that she is even more against the environment, encouraging drilling in ANWAR. Compared to Palin, who would be a breath away from the presidency to the 73 year old McCain, Obama looks like Eisenhower in terms of experience. Begala, a former Clinton guy put it best in his article.
Not to mention Palin will have to face Biden in the national limelight during a prime time debate—that should be interesting. It appears it will be Senator I Don’t Know How Many Houses I Own and Miss Alaska Runner-up vs. the dems.
Big Bounce for Bam-Bam, we’ll see if Palin grabs some points for McCain.

what a difference a week makes

My apologies for the hiatus, but somehow that right of passage known as the 21st snuck up on me this weekend.
Last week in review:
Lehman-- Let me take this opportunity to express my deepest condolences to my fellow Lehman holders—we had a good run.
Palin—she’s not running for president, but the fact that McCain’s 72 and the average life expectancy in the US is 78 makes people a bit queasy. Especially after an embarrassing ABC interview (is one of the largest shifts in international policy in the history of the United States). And apparently Alaska is so close to Russia that Sarah miraculously has foreign policy experience…. but apparently we’ll go to war with Russia if we need to under McCain-- no big deal or anything. Hopefully all of her 2 years of executive experience in Alaska will come in really handy in drawing up those battle maps and figuring out where those nu-cu-lar warheads are flying. I had no idea that our military was so big that we could fight Iran, Iraq, Pakistan and Russia all at the same time! You learn something every day.
I (don’t) like Ike
Electoral Map – since the introduction of Palin, McCain’s stock has skyrocketed. People actually think he’ll win, and it’s now possible that he’ll wallop Obama in the election. She’s just the distraction he needed. And apparently people would rather vote for someone they can relate to (even if it means starting up to 3 more wars), rather than someone who is smart enough to figure out this presidency thing. Terrific. Just Terrific.
