John and Sarah


Every one's favorite bad pilot and ex POW, John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate. After a bit of reading about her background, I have come to the conclusion that John is a bit worried and this cute little Alaskan may be a way to get all for you women to go vote for him.


Check out Deus Ex Malcontent for the best analysis I've found.
Alan Colmes has some more interesting information.

This feminist, for one, very much resents being put in a position where I highly suspect that a woman has been chosen as the Republican VP candidate simply b/c she's a woman, not b/c of her credentials or anything else. Not aborting her baby when she found out it would have Down's Syndrome seems to be what won her the nomination.

I also find it interesting that the party thinks it's just fine to nominate a woman with a young infant for VP, but that the rest of us women should stay home when we have kids--that whole strategy of allowing individual women to be empowered as "exceptions" while the rest of us are supposed to follow the old rules.

Hmph.

But Burk says she's a gift to the Democratic party, given her lack of any real credentials and the corruption scandals around her.
