good call.

Okay, I just watched the msnbc.com video feed. Things I noticed were McCain had to look at his note cards when saying who he had picked as a running mate. He did not shake her hand when Gov. Palin came onstage. They immediately hugged. Shouldn't they have shook hands first? Shouldn't women see that as just a little bit insulting to their intelligence or power? They even hug again after she says what an honor it is to run with him. She couldn't correctly pronounce nuclear. Palin obviously had no issue with bringing up that one of her kids is in active duty. At the end McCain finally, albeit weakly, shakes her hand. McCain consistently was eyeballing and looking over her during her speech. That was creepy.

I'm trying to figure how to say this without being an ass and demeaning Palin or women in general, but appearance wise, when you look at them together, it looks like Senator McCain is the CEO of a company who just asked his assistant to join the board of directors.
