Not a political blog

I am just going to do this one post, because I can't seem to stop myself.

Sarah Palin, McCain's VP choice. 

I am not at all happy with this.

As someone who voted for Hillary in the Primary, I am offended that McCain seems to think that choosing a running mate with a vagina will lure me and other vagina-owning Hillary supporters his way.

Part of me is all "WOO HOO! YOU GO GIRL!".  For the record, I was always going to vote Obama/Biden, but how awesome would it be to see a woman in the whitehouse? 

I'm just sad that I'm not able to get behind this one.  I am concerned about her inexperience, to quote an article I read recently "a first-term governor of a state with more reindeer than people", and while McCain does have experience coming out of his ancient hairy ears, I can't seem to be ok with the fact that this woman could be one elderly heartbeat away from the presidency.  IN THE MIDDLE OF A WAR.  AND RECESSION.  GAH!  Not to mention the fact that I'm socially liberal and she is very, VERY conservative.  So, bummer.  I'm all for the history making move of the GOP choosing a female VP candidate, I just wish they'd have chosen one that I could have felt good voting for.
