Curious....

I woke up this morning, turned on CNN to find McCain had picked his VP. It wasn't some well-known hot-shot in the GOP instead it was the female Gov. of Alaska. I was surprised to say the least, I'll have to do some more research on this women but from what the anchors were saying about her, she seems like a good hardy Republican.....and even comes with her own abuse of power scandal/investigation.

It does make sense that McCain would choose a women, after all Obama didn't pick Clinton (thank goodness) so McCain will try and pick up on some of that hype and Clinton supporters....which I'm not sure will work. It's pretty sad if you move to McCain because Clinton isn't the nominee. They really don't line up too well on the issues. However, as some of the anchors pointed out, this women doesn't have much experience....you can't go around attacking Obama over experience then turn around and pick someone who lacks experience as well...but that is the Republican party for you.

I'm just glad it wasn't Tom Ridge. McCain would have never been elected with that guy as his VP. At least he understood enough to know it is political career suicide to pick someone who actually worked with George W. when you are trying to show a difference between the two of you.

Now the VP have been selected one Convention down, one more to go and then this thing can really start. I'm excited, my house mates will probably hate me by November but I love election years.....and this one is shaping up to be extra good. I just hope we pick the right guy in November.
