EITHER/OR
By Harvey Tobkes
Either McCain’s team did not vet Palin thoroughly, or McCain showed bad judgment by selecting Palin. What is obvious, is McCain by choosing Sarah Palin, made a demeaning bid to capture Hillary’s disgruntled and disappointed following of women loyal to women. But that’s politics!
Now imagine this..it’s you who McCain wants for V.P. You are sitting around the dinner table with your family telling them the good news and the bad news. The bad news, of course, is that the press is most likely going to discover the Palin cover-up and use the info to embarrass the Republican Party and your family by exposing your daughter’s pregnancy.
Either you try to conceal from the McCain team the fact that she’s pregnant, or you tell them all, and hold your daughter up to shame.
And all this is not even taking into consideration the “Troopergate” scandal, which is still cooking on a hot stove.
The democrats are really playing trump cards by stating, “Children are off limits.” Sure, why be critical when McCain is digging his own holes.
Another thing that bugs me is why McCain cannot even muster the least enthusiasm in any of his speeches. It’s almost as if he doesn’t give a hoot if he wins or loses the election. As CNN’s Jack McCafferty put it, “McCain at the podium is like a porcupine in a balloon factory.” Of course, when your opponent is an orator like Obama, it exaggerates McCain’s shortcomings.
For me, it’s coming down to which is the least worst of the two candidates.
