Not good for McCain, but possibly good for Palin

Senator McCain has not been thinking clearly during this presidential race. He knows that the Obama movement has engulfed the nation and the world, and continues to inspire people everyday. Barack Obama has made history and McCain is just trying to steal his thunder by also making history, by having Govenor Sarah Palin as his Vice President. John McCain believes that having Palin, will have a prominent effect on Clinton voters to the Republican side, he is also trying to relate to lower middleclass voters which proves he doesn't know half of the American people ( maybe if we somehow found five million dollars somewhere, maybe we can be noticed by McCain since he considers that to be middle class), and also he is trying to simulate that his campaign is family oriented, just by having Palin on his side because she has five kids, helps her husband run his business and doesnt belive in abortion. Just because she is family oriented and is gov. of Alaska does not qualify her to be Vice President. Palin's experince level is not high; she is not prepared for the cut throat world of Washington politics and has no knowledge of foreign policy. I have to say its a little bit embrassing for women to have Palin in the V.P spot, because it is like a demonstration by McCain saying in a some what quiet manner that Hillary Clinton was just another skirt and we can put any woman in there. I will say I didnt back Hillary during the primaries, but she has done AMAZING things for this country and has inspired so many people. But, shoving someone out there just for show, saying "look here is our Hillary," is embrassing to women and to Hillary Clinton. Now I am not saying Sarah Palin is not good, I think she is a great speaker, has a good family, and shows great gumption in politcs. I see her running for Senate, but not Vice President. If she was to rack up some experince points first, then maybe she could be V.P later on. If I was Sarah Palin, I would turn away from Vice President, recognize that McCain is only using me as a piece of meat to appease people, and know that there is a chance McCain could toss me away just as soon as he moves into the White House.

America needs to wake up and notice the events folding in front of them. Change is coming, but it is coming in the form of Barack Obama. He is needed in this nation to bring balance to the corruption of big business and American politics. Republicans are scared and so are the corporations around America. They know that when Barack Obama becomes President of the United States; he will rattle the cages in Washington, he will start cutting away taxes and take away money from big corporations. McCain knows Barack Obama's victory is on the horizon and he knows he cannot win because Obama knows the people and their communities. McCain doesnt know the people because he wishes not to. Barack Obama has not been tainted by corruption, power, or money; he has kept his heart within the needs of people and their communities. John McCain has been tainted with power and money, which clouds his judgement, I believe John McCain is smart and is one of America's bravest, but I believe he is not suited to be President of the United States. Time to wake up America, change is coming in the form of Barack Obama. .
