Hello folks. I’ve been out the mix for a few days now for reasons I will disclose in a later entry. In an effort to regain my sanity, I’ve decided to post something. Given the political week we just had, I figured I’d take some time to not talk about Barack, but instead talk about McCain’s decision for a running mate. Barack gave an amazing speech. We all know that. No surprise. However, Gramps McCain did finally surprise me. Unfortunately, it’s not in a good way. Then again, that probably doesn’t surprise you as one of my readers.

How stupid does John McCain think women are? For that matter, how stupid does John McCain’s camp think that women are? Upon hearing his choice for a VP, I actually laughed and said something along the lines of “What the eff is this?” Does he really think that selecting Gov. Sarah Palin is suddenly going to give him all of the votes that Hillary Clinton would have gotten had she overcome Obamamania? I knew he would select somebody young that didn’t need to take a blue pill, but I’m incredibly surprised that he would select someone younger than Barack. Someone who, from what the media tells me, has absolutely no foreign policy experience. She’s a hockey mom, shoots guns, and eats moose burgers. Big effin deal. Most kids don’t even play hockey. Had they portrayed her as a soccer mom, it’d be a completely different ballgame. She could drive to all the campaign rallies in a minivan with a moose’s head on top of it. She could also get out with full hunting camouflage on.  Yep, that would seal the election for MCain. Sadly to say, that would capture a lot of the redneck vote.

Gramps must really think he got the double bonus on this one. “Young woman that likes guns, violent team sports, and meat? Brilliant!” is probably what crossed his mind. Much to the dismay of many Republicans from what I’ve read so far, he took it to an extreme that will probably erupt in his face like Jake Steed. That’s way worse than egg yolk by the way. But seriously, does he really think that the majority of Hillary’s supporters are just going to roll over to his side because he selected a young “All-American” woman with a quarter of her credentials? If I were a Hillary supporter, I’d consider this a slap in the face and insult of intelligence. I’ll be humored to see how this one plays out. That road to the White House just got a lot longer for the McCain camp. Once these debates get started, Obama and Biden will probably be a slap shot away from the Presidential Cup. Go figure.
