QUOTE(brooklyneast05 @ Aug 29 2008, 07:54 PM)  i'm still just completely thrown off by this choice. i don't get it. Perhaps McCain felt as if he had enough experience and clout within his area of responsibilities to pick up the slack for a grossly inexperienced, female VP. Palin looks good for McCain because he seems like less of a dinosaur, less of a caveman cheauvanist, and more like a human being in touch with the social climate of today's America. I would say that this wouldn't matter, but when targeting young voters who have chosen Obama by default after Hilary's defeat, a (fairly) young (well, she looks good for her age), sexy, figurehead like Palin will swing momentum his way. I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of this Republican presidential campaign is focused on Palin, as if she's the front-runner. |
