Governing verses Politics
The most obvious differences between Obama's & McCain's VP choices. Obama's was clearly about governing with little bit of politics which will always be part of the puzzle; however McCain's was 100% about politics.
Let's look at what Palin brings to the table:
- Does she deliver a state that he wouldn't win? NO
- Does she have economic experience that balances McCain's national security side? Not Much
- Does she bring years of experience that will make Obama look even less experienced? Not at all
What does she bring then? Well McCain is insulting women everywhere by assuming that women will just move over to her for no other reason than she is a female.
Are Palin's positions in any way similar to Hillary Clinton's at all?.. Of course not! They are simply planning on female democrats who don't agree with anything Palin says to vote for her anyway because of her gender.
This pick was 100% a sign of political weakness from McCain.
