Gov. Sarah Palin...the gift that keeps on giving

I remember wondering who the heck John McCain would pick to be his VP. Like many others I thought for sure that he would pick Gov. Tim Pawlenty of Minnesota or ex Gov. Tom Ridge of Pennsylvania. I was of course caught off guard when my LB called to tell me who the pick was. The pick was Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska. I laughed because I was thinking John McCain is an even bigger idiot than I thought before.

My first conclusion on why he picked her was to try and some way get those Hillary Clinton primary voters that are supposedly still upset over her defeat. Now logically I couldn't understand how any Hillary Clinton supporter would shift there support to McCain/Palin. They have opposite opinions on all major issues and it just wouldn't make sense. I am not a Hillary Clinton supporter and I would have not supported her if she won the Democratic nomination. Her and Bill's behavior during the primary season was ridiculous to put it lightly. I would have supported Independent Candidate Ralph Nader. Yep not McCain/Palin. I would never vote for McCain/Palin because we don't agree on any issues.

Well pack to the basics of this post. Palin then became the gift that kept on giving. It was reported that her and John McCain had only met once before he picked her. They didn't know each other at all. Her pick was a risk. It was even speculated that he didn't fully vet her because he was all about choosing Sen. Joe Lieberman as his VP. I thought man this just keeps getting better and better. Then news broke about her 17 year old daughter being pregnant. So I can't really believe this. I'm like this just keeps getting better and better. Gov. Sarah Palin, a supposed believer of not teaching sex education in schools might have forgot to have that sex talk with her own child.

Well then the Republican National Convention began. I anticipated Gov. Palin's speech. I was like this will be our first real chance to hear about her. Well of course I was disappointed again. All she did was bash Sen. Barack Obama. We didn't find anything out about her except for that she is a lipstick wearing pit bull. I thought man is the McCain campaign just stupid. Why aren't they letting her tell where she stands on issues and why won't she say what a McCain/Palin White House would do for America. I thought ha McCain has struck out again with her.

Then today I am watching MSNBC and I found out that Palin is still giving the same speech that she gave at the convention to her audiences. She is refusing to answer questions from the media and she never deviates from her script. Why won't the McCain campaign let anyone get hold of her? You want to know why? Well it's because she is ready to answer the tough questions. They are afraid she will make some gaffe and it will do so much damage that they won't be able to reverse it. Wow when will the American people get to hear what she really stands for? Probably never.

And lastly, Palin had an infamous line in her speech that she she opposed the "Bridge to Nowhere". Well all major news organization and national papers did some research and have found that she is lying about her opposition to the bridge. She in fact supported it before she was against it. (Remember that line from 2004?) Yep, Palin is continuing to go on the campaign trail and promote her opposition to the "Bridge to Nowhere" but is forgetting to mention that she once was for it.

With all that said, anyone with any sense can see that Gov. Palin is the gift that keeps giving for the Democrats. She continues to offer the Democrats a much needed glimmer of hope that the White House should be easily handed to them in November. I am not saying that it will be a blowout. I do think the election will be very close, but I do predict that Palin will continue to be the gift that the Democrats needed. She will keep providing the Democrats with the needed ammo to win the 2008 Presidential election.
