Re: Sarah Palin was risky, but actually a pretty smart choice
you can't possibly say this. she hasn't even stated what her opinions are. We don't know her views on Iran or Fannie Mae or the EITC or the battle between Shia and Sunni Islam. Now: can you imagine a man being selected as vice-president and only giving feature interviews to People?
She's been in hiding for 9 days, and probably for two more weeks as fox news is indicating. Quayle was interviewed 1 day after he was chosen. Ferraro, four days after. This is nine days after she was picked (to which McCain doesn't remember when he picked her, his words now), and she hasn't come out of the protective bunker that Cheney is hiding in...
Can you imagine if ANY OTHER CANDIDATE said "i'm gone for two weeks, no questions."??? Why is she getting this free pass? Since when is the governor of a state given a fortnight of hiding??? This is rising to a Manchurian Candidate level of creepiness right now. Utterly terrifying.
The BBC has it correct: ' Why is being a soccer mom a qualification for being the second in command of the so-called global superpower?" And continued, "
Let's imagine that governor Palin was indeed a man. He wouldn't be interesting. He'd be outrageous. She is outrageous, actually."
This wasn't a risky choice. McCain winged it. It shows his utter contempt for the Office of the President of the United States, and worse, for the Executive Branch. There is ZERO EVIDENCE that she possesses the critical decision-making skillset required of office.
As one blog I read this morning said, "Sarah Palin, someone to gossip about, not select as vice president."

The only opinions of hers that I can comment on are the ones that I've been able to deduce from her past comments and actions. And I generally don't like those. But I am confident in telling you that I think McCain's camp most certainly did not wing this one, regardless of whether we like her or not. Let me explain again.
