Let the fun begin...

Or not begin... McCain picks Palin as VP running mate. Um, what? Before I say anything I must say that I'm not a passionate political person although I really wish I were. Maybe Laurel or EW or my Father can enlighten us with their strong views.
Why would McCain chose a candidate with little experience from a state that is known to go Republican? Wouldn't he take this opportunity to chose someone from an important swing state say from Michigan? Hello Romney? I suppose I can see the logic of choosing a female but I just don't see how an inexperienced female makes his ticket any stronger. I will look forward to her speech next week.
I do have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed Hillary's speech this week. It was my favorite of the week and the strongest. She probably secretly wanted to be kicking Obama in the shins but came out in full support of his campaign, was gracious, genuine and passionate. I didn't always agree with some of her views during her campaign but I can appreciate the strong woman that she is.

I still am neither Republican or Democrat for the record. I'm a registered Independent and have voted both ways.

Did know that like 1% of the population votes for mikey mouse, the cartoon character... The US has gone to pot. or mice. Anyways vote for someone other than a fictional character. dont vote for chuck norris either because if he really wanted to be president he would be. for 4000 years and nobody could vote otherwise.

I'm sure EW and I can help you see.

McCain's smartest decision BY FAR. I could NOT be happier.

And I love that you are not as passionate but you'll still talk about it passionately.
