Obama's lack of experience is addressed by McCain's experience. See how that works? Does McCain look dead to you? My theory is that he is intending to not run for re-election in 2012. That would allow for Sarah Palin to be a historical figure twice, and would drive the stake through Hilary's heart although I doubt that would even finish her off.
What I want to know is how is the 'candidate of change' picking an old white guy whose been in the Senate forever? Where's the change? All of the change is on the other side: a Senator well known to be a Maverick and a running mate well known for running on reform, fairness and anti-corruption (not to mention campaigning on the Environment AND drilling in ANWR at the same time). McCain has made a very out-of-the-box running mate choice that underscores and emphasizes that it is not going to be business as usual in Washington. The presence of Joe Biden doesn't inspire that on the other side.
McCain picked a well spoken, dynamic female running mate with more executive experience than either of the Democrats; a solid union member with a solid union member husband, both NRA members; obvious chops on education, motherhood, special needs, and having serious potential appeal to the women the Democrats left behind when they threw Hillary under the bus.
So, it should be an interesting 67 days.
How come no one yelled at Al Gore for comparing Obama to Lincoln? Is My American Cousin playing in Washington in the next few years?
