Sarah Palin VP Nominee

Sen. John McCain has proven once again that he is not the typical "in the box" Republican. His choosing Sarah Palin as his running mate makes that perfectly clear to this old-time Democrat.

Sen. Obama has touted all too often in his many speeches that his campaign is all about change, in essence running against the so-called Washington establishment as an almost "outsider." (He fails to remember that he is, of course, one of the Washington elite.) Well, when push turned to shove he chose a very Washington "insider" to share his ticket in Joe Biden of the "good old boy" network.

John McCain on the other hand chose "outsider" Gov. Palin to fill his ticket to the amazement of all the party faithful, let alone all the talking heads in the media.

Democrat Party front persons are crying publicly that Palin has no real experience and that should McCain become President and die in office the former Mayor of a tiny Alaskan town would take over, a person with no experience. Heaven forbid! What they fail to admit is that if Obama is elected, we will have a president with NO EXPERIENCE from the get go. You decide. Furthermore the spin doctors keep preaching to us that electing McCain is like having a third Bush term. That is a bunch of bull and thinking people know it. I'd rather have someone occupying the White House that I believe will not cause immediate drastic change than someone I no idea in the world what he will do.

Professional politics is the biggest game in our country giving every eligible citizen an opportunity to play. The great pity is that so many opt out. In total, we are governed by a minority. A minority that takes the time to express themselves at the polls. These are the folk who make the difference.

John McCain is running against two people; Barack Obama and George W. Bush and his legacy. If defeated it will be solely due to the legacy and not to Obama's campaign.
