I think she''s a horrible choice for McCain - he just handed the election to Obama. I have a real problem with some of her "pro-life" policies too - against abortion even in cases of rape and incest? That position isn''t going to pull over any of Clinton''s 18 million supporters.
Also, as someone who''s supposed to be a conservative, pro-family woman, what was she doing back at work 3 DAYS after her son was born with Down''s Syndrome? I don''t think that a good mother of a 4 month old disabled child should be leaving him with other caretakers while she''s gallivanting along the campaign trail. I think someone with real "family values" would be at home taking care of her child with special needs. If she becomes VP, working 18 hour days, how much care and attention will she be giving that baby?
As far as the claim that she rode to victory in Alaska on an anti-corruption ticket - well, now she''s being investigated for corruption for trying to fire her ex-brother-in-law from the police force. Lovely.
Plus, McCain just blew his whole argument against Obama, that he doesn''t have enough experience to govern. Palin has been governor for less than two years, and before that, was mayor of a town the fraction of the size of the university I attended. If he dies in office, which is very possible (he''s had cancer 4 times) I have absolutely no confidence in Palin being able to run the country.
If he wanted to pick a female candidate, someone like Condoleeza Rice would have been brilliant. What a mistake he''s made.
