McCain picks a woman

[Colonel Flagg]

I originally thought since Obama obviously was trying to address experience with his constituency in picking Biden, that McCain would try to either ease the Ultra-conservative bloc with a "Huckabee clone" or perhaps move toward the center with an independent-minded social pragmatist like Tom Ridge. Instead we get him tapping a female republican 1st-term governor with no other political experience besides being the mayor of a small Alaska village.

Now, instead of questioning Obama's foreign policy experience, I'm questioning McCain's judgment. Not a good position to place an independent voter.

Why not question Obama's judgment. He is talking about Change and not being business as usual, then picks Biden.

You can say that about McCain too - he's all about experience and the "ability to lead" and then he picks a neophyte with no relevant political experience outside of 1.5 years as governor of Alaska.

So which panderer will be our next president?

He just wants to bring guilty white liberals over to his side by making a show of being "progressive" by picking a woman. Its all so transparent.
