For real..but you can't fault cats. I'm flipping the news channels and its all fear all the time. There all "how many disaffected Clinton supporters will vote for McCain because of Palin". Forget Dems just had their convention, forget that the Clintons just endorsed Obama, forget that Palin is NO Hillary Clinton, they just keep pumping the fear. A funny theme I noticed during the Dem convention were the reports from reporters on the floor on the convention saying if there was a rift in the Obama/Clinton supporters you could not tell..but the yuck mouths at the anchor booth won't let it die. Its the same style of "news reporting" that created the East/West "beef"..yeah there was a story there, but it died and they don't want to let it go.
As far as Palin..
1) She's connected to big oil
2) Her experience consists of being the mayor of an Alaska town and 2 years as Alaska Gov. thats all. Her selection takes the GOP argument of Obama's experience off the table.
3) She has ZERO foreign policy credentials.
4) If you don't know, Alaska has a serious corruption problem, she is already under investigation, so there is a chance something could pop up about her.
5) All those women who so strongly supported Hillary are mostly liberal pro choicers. Palin is pro life, so is McCain. Up to 3 supreme court justices can be appointed during the first term. A GOP president threatens Roe v. Wade, and the femmes of the world don't want that.
