Gun toting, maverick Governor Sarah Palin has been named John McCain's running mate leading into the Republican National Convention. Controversial? Absolutely. Ms. Palin has been in office as Governor of Alaska for 2 years. Hasn't John McCain been attacking Baracka Obama for his lack of experience? Seems like a contradiction to me.
On a second front, this seems like a strategic move to bring Hillary Clinton supporters over to the GOP. A risky move at best. Media outlets, such as CNN have been getting bombarded by emails from women that the move seems patronizing. I've even heard Gov. Palin using Hillary Clinton's now infamous "glass ceiling reference." The parallels between the two are minimal: Hillary is a former First lady and current Senator in one of the most populated states in the U.S. Palin is Governor of Alaska, a state that has about half the people of Coney Island. Hillary has been on the international stage when it comes to diplomacy and policy. Palin has played tiny hoops with the townies at the County Fair.
A bold move to say the least. Let's see if the GOP's "Change Agent" resonates with independent and undecided voters in November.
