Why on earth John McCain would choose a running mate (I will still refuse to use her name, not even in the “tags”) that isn’t heavy enough to be a lightweight is beyond comprehension. I mean, he could have chosen Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson who would have made a serious, formidable opponent and she is a women, as well as a strong candidate with a great voice for the conservative movement. I am a left-leaning liberal and I am certainly pleased at the McCain flub.
He also could have chosen former Pennsylvania Governor Tom Ridge who would have brought this concept of “gravitas” to a campaign that has become a joke to the “McCain/What’s her name” team. The only worse choice McCain could have made and the one I was really pulling for is Senator Joe Lieberman. But his choice of “what’s her name” is a big enough joke.
The American people want that “warm and fuzzy feeling” when it comes to their national candidates. And that is just what you get when you vote for Barack Obama and Joe Biden. John McCain has experience and his experiences are bad ones. He makes all the wrong choices, flip-flops, can’t make up his mind, has poor judgment, votes against his own bills, is on the wrong side of issues when he does make up his mind and he has poor judgment in the people he surrounds himself with. He obviously picked the wrong V.P. nominee, an incredibly over-simplistic choice and his second choice was worse.
Which candidate makes you feel good about yourself, your country and your future?
Barack Obama, of course. Reading on Walden Bookstore .
