In my online travels, I came across a few posts that I thought brought up a lot of really good points.
First, from The Hillary 1000, pocochina says “I am using the VP choices on the tickets to help me make my decision, not because of the VP candidates themselves but because of what the selection tells me about the nominees”. Talking about Governor Palin, she says;
The Obama campaign has already taken the bait, calling Palin inexperienced. I bet the McCain campaign loves this – every time someone says “inexperienced,” how many voters think of Obama’s incomplete term in the Senate? McCain need only point out which ticket has the experienced top half to use the magic words “affirmative action.”
From American Thinker, Bruce Walker considers “all the ways in which Palin helps the Republican ticket” and starts with;
Women voters know not only that the election of McCain likely will lead to the nomination of Sarah Palin as the Republican nominee in 2012 or 2016, but the election of Sarah PalinMcCain-Palin may well mean that the nominee of both major political parties in 2012 will be a woman: Palin, if McCain decides not to seek another term, and Hillary, who would be the presumptive favorite for the Democratic nomination in 2012 if Obama loses in 2008. In other words, women voters who vote in this election know that they can probably ensure that the next president is a woman, if McCain is elected. That knowledge will pull wavering women away from Obama-Biden and to McCain-Palin.
And I love one of the comments that followed:
“I eagerly await the debates when she hands Mr. Biden his shriveled balls in a teacup.”
And last, from Meghan McCain’s Blog, some great behind-the scene pictures of Fridays Vice President announcement.
Enjoy!
