Ok, I hope I am correct in this, but I think that Palin is a slap in the face to Hillary's supporters.
My guess is that the McCain camp thinks that Palin will help them woo Hillary's supporters JUST BECAUSE SHE IS A WOMAN. What a mind-blowingly out-of-touch thing to do.
That line of thinking does a complete disservice to what a remarkable woman Hillary Clinton was AND IS. To think that you can just replace one woman candidate with another, and have people switch parties because of it is so simplistic I shouldn't be surprised it came from the McCain camp.
I truly hope that the 'Hillary supporters for McCain' take a good long look at how easy McCain thinks it is to manipulate them.
I am stunned by the lack of thought in this decision.
I'll leave it up to others to discuss the implications of a non-experienced candidate being one heartbeat from the Presidency in the times we live in.
I just wanted to comment on the idea that Hillary supporters could be wooed just by adding a woman to a ticket.
How completely demeaning it is to her legacy and what she has fought for if the McCain camp is, and Hillary's supporters can be wooed that way.
