I really enjoyed reading your response. Not often can someone out-do me in long personal lists like you did, and they were dead on. Oh, the Church of Christ hair — I looked at versions of that for 27 years, so I know well. Guess that makes her hair the most reasonable of her personal choices.

OTOH, I’m certain that being physically attractive helps her career immensely. Appearing to be both pleasant and professional helps even more.

Shame on you — as a Texan, you should already know that Dick Cheney — while in Texas — personally made shooting lawyers synonymous with the Vice Presidency.

All jokes aside, John McCain is trying to appeal to moderates and “lite” liberals (see the gratuitous use of former Democrat-current Independent Joe Lieberman at the RNC). Because McCain is something of a wild card, the Right Wing doesn’t trust him, and Palin has been brought in as ballast.

Palin is almost a caricature of Conservative Republicanism: NRA card carrying member with guns, large family, intelligent design supporter, anti-choice, anti-sustainability, anti-environmentalism, anti-science, anti-climate change, all for cleaning up politics and political corruption unless one’s sister’s ex-husband happens to work for the state, wants to drill ANWR, doesn’t believe in endangered species, and has that horrible pageant big hair thing most often seen at the Church of Christ going on.

I WAS going to vote for McCain, as I thought he could be trusted to run a less polarized, more cooperative White House, but I absolutely MUST VOTE AGAINST Sarah Palin.

I am still amazed that the Republicans were able to produce a candidate that makes Barrack Obama look experienced.

@Sickboy Hmmmmm… not sure if that’s a pro-blonde or anti-blonde argument.

@Breanne I think it’s reminiscent of 80s softcore. Weird.

@clancop Barack never criticized Palin and told the media to back off in the clearest terms. There are people out there who are looking at her mothering skills. Go take a look at http://blog.penelopetrunk.com/
