Some people are blindly opportunistic

Some people are blindly opportunistic--that's my conclusion when McCain picked former pageant, first-season Governor of Alaska (shiver!-what a far reach...). And a mother of five too.

At her forties, she nicely dilutes the rather heavy age of McCain of 73, yeah. Gender has been thrown in to pick what they can of the Clinton die-hards.

Soon the press got to work. We started hearing about earmark funds and the infant politician mixing herself up. A bridge she had sought earmark funds to construct sometime earlier was later named by her as a bridge to nowhere ("nowhere") happens to be an island in her jurisdiction as Governoress.

B4 dust settled, there was this teen pregnancy fiasco: her 17-year-old was carrying a love-child, four months to come). Mama explained, proudly, the child's father was going to marry her daughter. The world press needed exactly that. Media from AAustralia to ZZimbabwe carried the story. GOP felt short-changed: didn't McCain Campaign not do any vetting of potential running mates?

Whatever haste to pick a woman to make use of Clinton vacuum, I just can't picture the imagination of how a mother of five is going to cope with the demanding duties of VP. Sure some are quite grown-up, but the very task of bringing those up was a heavy-duty assignment in itself. I think the voters who have to make a decision of who the commander-in-chief shall be should something happen to the old man McCain might be a bit heavy-handed. Which works well with me, because I am all for Dems to take the White House. I can see the team of Obama and Biden bringing America to new height, winding up the affairs in Iraq amicably and not poking another arms-sale gambit in Iran.
