I’m super giddy over this y’all. CNN is reporting that Sen. John McCain has pick Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. On the surface people will think it’s a cynical pick because he’s trying to catering to nutjob PUMAs. That may be the case, for those PUMAs were never Democrats in the first place, and only come off as cultish children.
But I have another theory: I think he went with an untested newbie to counteract Sen. Joe Biden. Picture Biden wiping the floor in debates with Romney, Giuliani and Pawlenty. Now imagine Biden attacking a woman. Not a pretty picture is it? No matter if Biden is factually correct, if he comes off as “attacking” Palin–and you know the kooks that make up the GOP will spin any statement as such,–he’s be painted as a misogynist.
This also puts a stop on McCain’s baseless attacks on Obama of being too young and too inexperienced. After all, Gov. Palin only has 2 years as a governor under her belt. She’s younger than Sen. Obama too. Others will go into greater detail into Palin’s experience, or lack thereof, what I just read was this:
In an interview just a month ago, she dissed the job, saying it didn’t seem “productive.”
In fact, she said she doesn’t know what the vice president does.
Larry Kudlow of CNBC’s “Kudlow & Co.” asked her about the possibility of becoming McCain’s ticket mate. Palin replied: “As for that VP talk all the time, I’ll tell you, I still can’t answer that question until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day? I’m used to being very productive and working real hard in an administration. We want to make sure that that VP slot would be a fruitful type of position, especially for Alaskans and for the things that we’re trying to accomplish up here for the rest of the U.S., before I can even start addressing that question.”
And I know is that if I was Cindy McCain, I’d be watching McCain like a hawk. After all he cheated on his first wife to be with Cindy. And the silly news report in February showed that his aides were worried about his relationship with lobbyist Vicki Iseman, going so far as to try to stonewall Iseman when she had to work with the Senator.
