For those of you who are following me on Twitter or read my 5-a-day status updates on facebook, you would know that I was a little disturbed by John McCain’s vice presidential pick. For one, if this was a ploy to get angry Hillary voters to cross parties, it will surely fail. Sarah Palin, though an admirable trailblazer in some respects, is anti-abortion in all circumstances (including rape & incest) and not exactly what I would call a feminist. In addition, the “no experience” card the republicans repeatedly use on Barack Obama has just been thrown out the door; Palin is a first term Governor of Alaska. However, let’s leave the political issues alone and just look at her attitude a few months ago about the vice presidential position. I quote her directly, “What is it exactly that the VP does everyday?” Huhhhhh???????? Come on John McCain you can’t be serious!
