Palin's first speech as Republican VP nominee
Okay I'm seriously stoked about Sarah Palin. Obama preaches about changing Washington politics and then chooses a running mate who has spent nearly his entire career in Washington. McCain chooses Alaska's own maverick who hasn't stepped foot in Washington. Who is in a better position to shake things up in the capitol now?
I would be able to respect liberals if they devoted more attention to the issues. I just overheard a phone conversation at work that went something like this, "Obama spoke for about 44 minutes and it was wonderful. He bashed on McCain so hard. The news wanted to talk to undecided voters, but there's like a billion people here, so he won't be able to please everyone. Why don't they just get on board." I kid you not the person said "billion".
I watched his speech last night and all I got out of it was that Obama is the best person for the job because McCain is like Bush. Not because he has more well thought out policies or more experience. That's going to be the main Democratic strategy for the rest of the campaign, connect McCain and Bush whenever possible. You won't hear specifics on Obama's long term policies because they are way to far to the left for people in the center. Instead we'll be fed more rhetoric and one line "burns".
I'm glad Obama is going after McCain because it just opens the door for a fierce counter-attack. I want McCain to hit back HARD and paint Obama as the quasi-Socialist that he is. I'm looking forward to the debates where the two of them have to speak side-by-side.
Looks like McCain has picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin which is exciting from what I've read about here. Will have to do some research on her once the decision is final. Oh reminds me, Biden = yawwwwwn.
