Sarah Palin is the running mate for John McCain that many people are getting excited about. I'm sure that pretty much goes without saying. Since McCain named her as his running mate, people have been saying very hyped up things about her.... and about him.
But does anything change about McCain because he named Sarah Palin as his running mate?
Don't you still have the same McCain who is the candidate. Not Sarah Palin, she is not the candidate.
And what about the fact that this was a stunt to try to win McCain the election and add excitement to his depressing convention? Had McCain not been in trouble and not facing against a "history making" opponent, do you think he still would have done this? I don't think so.
So for me, I like Sarah Palin ok, but she is a running mate for a republican candidate who will destroy the cause and the issues of American conservatives and set them back for years to come.
People don't vote for a running mate.
When you have to get people excited about a running mate, because the candidate himself can't get people excited then you've probably lost the election.
McCain supporters are saying some pretty amazing things. "Palin 2012". You had better hope that McCain loses then. You think he is going to throw away a chance to run again? Really? You can't be serious. And their implying that McCain might not make it through his first term, to me it is kind of sad. You don't hear anyone saying that someone McCain's age isn't going to make it 8 more years in the senate. And Bob Dole was McCain's age when he ran and lost and guess what, Bob Dole is still alive today. Most of those guys are still alive in their 80s or 90s.
If McCain wins, then you get a liberal in the WH for atleast 8 long years. And Palin will be doing nothing but making speeches. Since you like speeches so much. Personally I don't like empty speeches with no action. And Palin will not have the ability to act unless something happens to McCain which is pretty rare in US history, and I don't think its something you should hope for.
Anyways, as I have stated already I like Palin ok, so you know that what I am saying is not biased, but she is McCain's running mate, and McCain is not what we need right now.
