Heh, well, I don't know anything about the SC Governer, but Gvr. Palin did not come across as a threat to me. In fact, if I were a democrat, I would
WANT her to be on the ticket because she looked like a token female candidate to most people. This is not me just babbling. I live in Texas and most
people I spoke with who were conservatives (prolly about 90% of the population here) thought she was a bad move.
As for my comment earlier, I apologize if it came across wrong. I don't expect that they would expose their *top* candidate in such a manner,
although doing it this early certainly makes it very easy to overcome, but if they have someone else in mind, they can benefit from the loss of
others. Honestly, I wouldn't expect anything differant from any politician.
And, I reiterate. I am not an Obama supporter. I don't have any feelings for the guy other than he presents himself well. I really don't like the
monetary policy in place. It is a foolish and rash move cause by the desire to get reelected in 4 years. I think his diplomacy is interesting, but
it's not truthful. He is playing the truth close to the chest and putting a show on for the public. And to be quite blunt, he is not showing
himself as a fiery, strong-willed leader with a vision. If anything, he is the classic overswing candidate that happens when the electorate gets
tired of the politics of one party and swings too hard to the other side.
