The last 48 hours have been a whirlwind. Surely the McCain team knew it would happen like this. With the small exception of the right-wing nutballs that lay desperate claim to the soul of the Republican party who campaigned for Gov. Palin to be included on the ticket, noone really knew who this woman was.
But the media went to work. And drip...drip...drip came the info. "Surely, the campaign didn't vet her properly or else they would not have picked her," went the conventional thinking. "What does this say about McCain's judgement?"
But not so fast.
The McCain team says they already knew all of what has consumed the media cycle in the last 2 days, but McCain says he chose her anyway because of her vast "executive experience."
My question is, what does that say about his judgement?
The selection of Sarah Palin is pandering at its finest. The selection of Sarah Palin is gimmicky politics at its most frightening. The selection of Sarah Palin is desperation at it's most desperate.
She's young. She's "conservative" (although I think that's a load of crap!). She's a woman. She's being used for her vagina and she's subjecting her family to it willingly.
So sad.
