Obama/Biden vs. McCain/Palin

Yes...I haven't blogged in some time.

So the Democratic and Republican slates are all set. What have we learned?

Obama picked Joe Biden, a serious and experienced foreign policy expert who has run for President several times himself.

And who did McSurge pick? An anti-choice, pro-fur, pro-drilling, pro-gun, pro-hunting, creationist "hockey mom" with 20 -months of executive experience in one of the smallest states in the country, and who is coincidentally embroiled in an abuse-of-power scandal.

My prediction: This might seem like a race today. But it won't after people realize how clueless Palin is, and how careless McSurge was to choose her. She's Dan Quayle in drag. The thought that she can attract Hillary-voters should be interpreted as an insult to the intelligence of women everywhere.

She's even on record as saying she couldn't back Hillary because of "her whining."

Is she also related to Phil Gramm?

I have another theory. Maybe McSame picked her to pretend to put a woman up for potentially the highest executive position in the land. Then either they pull her for some made up reason or with some phony "Checkers Speech" frank appeal to the voters or they have her withdraw her name from consideration. After that, he can pick his old buddy Joe LIE, which is what he wanted to do all along. Then he gets the "women's vote" for trying, the Jewish vote, the bipartisan truly independent vote, the "holier-than-thou" vote, the "US for Lieberman" vote, etc. etc. etc.

Another theory is that the GOP is aware that with Bush's performance and poll numbers and reviewing past presidential voting cycles, even a "black man" can be elected this year. Realizing that they are going to get beaten anyway, they put up Johnny and any woman and stand back and watch them get trounced. Then they can claim that they tried a less conservative choice and even tried a woman and they got beaten badly. This will be taken as evidence that only true conservatives can win and they'll put together a Dream (Nightmare?) ticket in 2012 of Romney/Limbaugh or Romney/Rove. As the Jetson's Astro would call the latter - "Ro-ro!".
