My opinion?

Governor Palin was no doubt chosen for a variety of reasons, but I�ve little doubt her gender played a major, major role in that decision. She was the obvious answer to Hussein�s supposed snub of Shrillary for VP (I guarantee she made it very clear up front she didn�t want it, but that�s a different issue. I�m talking about public perception here.). She complements McLame nicely in a number of areas: her youth and good looks versus his age, her solid conservatism versus his bed-wetting liberalism, her pro-life and pro Second Amendment credentials versus his general indifference to these issues, etc. She helps with the hard-core Conservative crowd, the evangelical crowd, and of course, the disenfranchised Shrillary supporters. Just as importantly, Biden will have a difficult time debating her effectively, precisely because of her gender. (Sexist perhaps, but reality.) Even her inexperience will be hard for the Manchurian Muslim to counter effectively, as she�s a veritable elder statesman experience-wise, when contrasted against the 143-day junior Senator. She was a good choice for McLame.

Even so, I still can�t vote for McLame. I�m done with the �lesser of two evils� game, which I blame for consistently giving us two �evils� from which to choose, every damn election. McLame has considerably more political savvy than I originally gave him credit for, but I still don�t like him any better. On the other hand, Governor Palin has a bright future ahead of her within the Party. I wish her all the luck in the world.
