should know the Number One Question any person with sense should be asking is--
Was this the most qualified GOP candidate for VP? Anyone who pretends that it is, or can't name five, let alone ten, better choices McCain could've made, is just trifling. I'm a Democrat from the cradle and an Obama supporter to the marrow, but *I* feel insulted for Republican voters who McCain is asking to accept this as his best choice, when that man stood at a podium with as many Gop hopefuls he did--and didn't a pick a one of them? Has been on as many talk shows as he has and knows people who can even discuss the talking points of his side better than this woman? I hope this is hard on Palin for having her little bit of experience and her family situation, saying "Yes" to this hard process, and recognizing it's serious business--
And I especially expect McCain to answer why he did not seem to take this test of his executive fitness more seriously. He can go to do his photo-ops in Iraq or grandstand over Georgia or even make a natural disaster some kind of backdrop for his cynical campaign, but he just offered up a four-year or better decision about leadership he can't run from or, I'm sad to say, run with. He is a trifling person--but he's trifling with this country and our future. America first, my ass. AFMA!
