Thread: Palin's Choice for VP

I expected that my wife, a Hillary supporter who had been "on the fence" about who she was going to vote for after Hillary wasn't invited to be Obama's VP, would react favorably to McCain's selection of Palin. Wrong (not the first that that has happened...)
She finds it offensive that McCain apparently made a calculated decision to go with an inexperienced pick over a more qualified candidate just because she's a woman, with the goal of attracting those like her who are still smarting over the Hillary sleight.
If McCain did in fact pick Palin over, say Romney, because he believes what Rush Limbaugh says (did any other right wing talk show host even mention Palin prior to the announcement of her selection?) one has to wonder what kind of judgment the man possesses...
