AUGHHH. I am so angry about the Palin VP nod that I actually had to stop reading blogs and newspapers just now, turn off the CNN video feed, and do some real work for awhile.
Sure, Obama doesn’t have that much national experience, other than four years as a Senator and six years as a state Senator, plus a couple of years on the campaign trail. I wasn’t a fan of Hillary counting her years as First Lady of Arkansas and the U.S. as actual experience, but Hillary and Obama are light years ahead of a one-term Governor from Alaska, who actually hasn’t even been in office for two years yet, and, also, Alaska has a population of less than a million people. That’s like picking the mayor of Omaha to be a Vice Presidential candidate.
It’s even worse that she’s female, because it’s clear that she’s been picked solely because of her gender. How can it be anything else? It’s like the Harriet Myers Supreme Court bullshit. Exactly the opposite of what Hillary supporters were about.
What nonsense. What a step backwards.
I thought “Palin” was a great choice — until I found out it wasn’t Michael Palin
