As a Republican for Obama, I cant help but wince when my old party blunders on, further into the wilderness. Team McCain realized they were in a hole, and handed Grampy a shovel and told him to keep digging. Gov. Sarah Palin, with just 18 months experience beyond that of Mayor of Wasilla, AK (Population 6,500), is a truly frightening choice as a potential President of the United States. As others have pointed out, merely having a vagina on the ticket is no sure way to bring America together.
One thing this will do: Gov. Palin certainly provides the ultimate motivation for Hillary Clinton to go the extra mile for Obama. If McCain/Palin were to win in November, it is a virtual certainty that a President Palin would become the first woman in the White House, relegating HRC to a footnote in history.
