Or stacking the deck?
I am not sure how I feel about John McCain choosing a dark horse female for his VP running mate.
It has nothing to do with the fact that my Governor wasn't chosen. I don't think he was the right choice anyway. The first few months he was in office he closed State Parks, Rest Area's and other public services to reduce the budget. Mind you most were re-opened within the first few years because it was met with such a horrible backlash.
Naming someone that hasn't been much on the radar makes me wonder. Was it done to even the proverbial playing field?
I have been so torn this election. I have always touted myself a Repub, but I have waivered most recently (ok, in the last 7 years) and no longer know where I stand.
But I am not seeing a lot of promise on either side...
Two nominee's who are limited in experience - whether themselves or their running mates.
I have said it before and will say it again... this election is looking more like a popularity contest than a Presidential race.
I add my name to the list of perplexed and undecided.

While admittedly, I know little about the woman McCain just named his running mate, I can't help but feel this is an attempt, however marginal, to create his own sense of "history making," you know? We've got our first black Presidential nominee, and while we've had a woman VP candidate eons ago, this present-day move is a sure thing for the party ticket, and so, clearly, whoever wins, there will be history made.
ReplyDeleteI'm still floundering around in the whole process.
My name is also on that list, though Hubby has me leaning toward Robert Barr (libertarian candidate). Until this election I had always voted Republican, but I don't know if my conscience can deal with a R who acts more like a D in many ways.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as his VP choice? It's TOTALLY trying to even the playing field.
No, please, the Republics are BAD. BAD. I am not saying the Democrats are perfect, but at least they like people. Never the Republicans. They love money and war.
