Even though I am a dem to the core, I was surprised to find myself charmed by her. Even though I could NEVER vote Republican (mostly because of social issues) I wonder if any dems who are less-than-impressed with Obama (as I am myself) were swayed by her funny, down-to-earth, charismatic speech last night. I'm a bit scared now that she could really tip this thing to the Republicans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11640187.post-39734093816465745022008-08-31T09:35:00.000-08:002008-08-31T09:35:00.000-08:00I have never in my life given to a campaign. I ha...I have never in my life given to a campaign. I have never in my life sat and watched the national conventions. I have never in my life felt truly connected, involved, nor interested in any part of the political process. (Also, I feel nauseous and jittery and nervous as all get out.) <BR/><BR/><BR/>That has ended. <BR/><BR/>I have given money, I have watched the DNC, and will watch (whatever they manage to put together since Gustav) the RNC. <BR/><BR/>McCain isn't a bad guy, although I don't want him as President. Palin seems like a decent gov, but I don't think that I trust her judgment. The fact that she can't keep Todd busy with something of his own is not a good sign. I can distract my dog with a treat, how hard could it really be? How will it be if she's trying to preside over the senate? (As the ADN points out, the VP's only true job.) <BR/><BR/>I think that Alaska was blind to her faults because they wanted to be. I understand that, been there, done that. <BR/><BR/>I am distressed that McCain didn't look over her better, not to mention there are quite a few skilled and smart Repubs who could have likely been a better VP pick, but whom probably don't play in the press anywhere near as well.<BR/><BR/>McCain has now also lost his ability to tout that Obama isn't ready to lead as he doesn't have the experience, since McCain's own second in command has nearly no experience in National Government. <BR/><BR/>Ruling the Republic of Alaska is far far different than presiding over the USA. I lived in Alaska long enough to feel that 'secession' attitude. <BR/><BR/>Yes, I'd like to see the day where we have a female VP or female Pres. I don't think this is the way to go about it.<BR/><BR/>I will, instead, hope to witness the history of seeing our first African American President.Jashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02038967038054133833noreply@blogger.com
