What this choice does is put the lie to McCain's "Country First" mantra.
A 72 year old chooses a VP candidate with no national political experience. He clearly would put the country at peril if he thinks it will win him enough votes to become president. What a fraud. He reacts to the presidency the way Gollum reacts to The Ring. I wouldn't be surprised if in his dreams he thinks of it as 'my precious.'
Those who compare Palin's slim experience with Obama's should remember that Obama wasn't chosen by a dispeptic old man to run for office. He was chosen by voters after a long and hard campaign.
Last night was spectacular. Obama was smooth as silk and hard as nails.
