Sarah Palin Sticks a Dagger in Obama’s Campaign
Iran better watch out. McCain’s already dropping bombshells.
I had never heard of this woman before today, but what I have learned about her since is the following:
- She fought Republican corruption
- She’s from an Energy State
- She has lots more governing experience than Obama
- She shoots critters with guns
- Her kid is in the Army, going to Iraq
- She’s a Mom of 5
- She’s a sports nut
- She’s NOT a Washington insider
Simply put, I think Palin is the freshest thing to happen to Washington politics in years. Wasn’t Obama supposed to be the candidate of change? Then why would he pick someone whose only job has ever been a Washington insider? Seems to me the real campaign of change is McCain’s.
I think Ed at Right Rant crystalized my thoughts exactly by saying:
By selecting Alaska governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate, John McCain has in one brilliant move, yanked the minority rug out from under the Obamessiah, trumped Obama on the female front, made the Obama campaign look like the insider campaign, and energized his otherwise run-of-the-mill campaign.
