Re: McCain's VP pick - Sarah Palin?
It really doesn't matter who he picks, because Obama is gonna win by a landslide.

Did you read my link by Peggy Noonan?
I'll put that here as well.
Quote:
Everyone in New York is saying, "What will happen?" "How do you see it?" "Who will win?" In this year of all years, who knows? My sense of it:
The campaign will grind along until a series of sharp moments. Maybe they will come in the debates. Things will move along, Mr. Obama in the lead. And then, just a few weeks out from the election, something will happen: America will look up and see the inevitability of Mr. Obama, that Mr. Obama has already been "elected," in a way, and America will say, Hey, wait a second, are we sure we want that? And it will tighten indeed.
The race has a subtext, a historic encounter between the Old America and the New, and suddenly the Old America—those who are literally old, who married a guy who fought at the Chosin Reservoir, and those not so old who yet remember, and cherish, the special glories of the Old—will rise, and join in, and make themselves heard. They will not leave without a fight.
And on that day John McCain will suddenly make it a race, as if moved by them and wanting to come through for them one last time. And then on down to the wire. And then . . .
And then. What a year, what an election. It continues to confound and to bedazzle.

I read it. It's more wishful thinking. America is not going to elect another Republican this time around.

I still contend that no matter what the media says about the economy and gas prices - it's about National Security! Obama cannot win that one!
If we do not have a strong leader on National Security the American people are wise enough to know that we have no economy.
Like McCain said, "I don't think the American people are dumb. Do you think they are dumb?"

But not in the end, as Peggy Noonan points out. Not in the end!
Of course, if Obama is voted in, I change my opinion. At least I won't be the blame.

I think there are more of us suffering from ADD than lack of smarts.

We have had a Republican President for 8 years now.
Hollywood and the other media have been tearing him down since he was first voted in.
Many people are unhappy and want to get our troops out as soon as possible no matter what may be the consequences.
I fear that this time the party of the GLBT's, Hollywood, Women's Lib, Abortionists, and Entertainment Media will prevail.
