I love how in the wake of all this, the media just tries and tries to be sexy, only to display themselves as completely out of touch with the average voter.
This moronic quote from a Politico article (
http://news.yahoo.com/s/politico/12997), a commonly repeated idea in many news pubs, is the subject of my criticism:
Quote:

Palin, the logic goes, will prompt voters to give him a second look — especially women who have watched Democrats reject Hillary Rodham Clinton for Barack Obama.

Now, you tell me... what self-respecting female will cross party lines and go against their value system just to put "a woman" in office? Some will cross over because "OMG it's a chick, you go girl!!!" and general moronic gestures, but enough to sway an election? As Bryant so clearly pointed out, Sarah Palin is a completely inexperienced Republican buffoon, and will probably cost McCain more votes than earn him.
My prediction, a moderate win of the popular vote for Obama, and an electoral landslide in November.
P.S. - Did McCain just pick this woman's name out of a hat? Completely irresponsible imo.
