I didn't think he'd actually select one. It's pandering to the Hillary squad. If any candidate is close to keeling over.. it's McCain. So to suggest that Obama is not ready, and then select a veep who may be less ready, and that is more likely to serve out your term than you are, is quite hypocritical.<BR/><BR/>He'll get some female voters from this. On one level, even I'm a bit giddy. Problem is.. he'll lose a chunk of the republican vote as well.

My initial reaction was to call it pandering to another less well represented sector of the populace, then again this is politics. Who knows, maybe she can deliver California, which has never been a bad quality in a VP choice. The missus was pleased by the news and although she won't be voting, if many other wives come around, his base will be strengthened. I have to call it a good move, he just couldn't afford to give up the women's vote which the spector of two old white guys on the ticket would have done.bigsoxfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415669952554171048noreply@blogger.com
