There has been a lot of talk about Sarah Palin since she was picked, seemingly by random draw, by McCain to be the vice presidential candidate. The interest in Palin has far overshadowed that of Biden for two reasons. The first being Palin is certainly less known being that she is new to politics, is situated in state, not federal, politics, and the state she is from is quite removed. The second being that as vice president she would be far more likely to become president (due to McCain's age) than Biden.
With the election nearly finished and Obama almost certainly going to win I was looking forward to Palin reverting back to obscurity. But, shockingly, the ultra-conservative cadre that runs the GOP is not saying that the future of the party is Palin. Is this what cultural politics in America has resorted to? Even with all the preparation done on Palin's behalf she still struggles to be a half-wit. You can put lipstick on a pig, but Palin is still a fucking idiot.

I think McCain picked her just because she was a woman and thought Clinton supporters would flock to the republican party and away from Obama. The only problem with the selection is that no one had heard of her and she wasn't quite up to speed on what was going on. Yeah, she has a younger more everyday look to her, but seriously, people were frightened that if McCain went down, Palin would rule and that isn't a pretty picture. She may be back in four years, but I only see her as a 2nd tier republican candiate if that.
I hope so. I remember thinking Mit Romney is a religious zealot and how that would make him a bad president. Who knew Palin was going to get so close!
