McCain knee-jerks so hard he breaks a hip

That’s really the only way you can possibly frame this choice of “Scandal Sarah” Palin as VP. Did McCain not remember what his campaign has been about?  See conservatives said that Biden undercut the theme of change, but they were wrong because it allowed for the experience to enact Obama’s change. McCain is running on experience and picking someone 30 years younger than him, who has only been governor for 20 months of a small state, well that not only hurts your message, it completely undermines every critique you’ve leveled at Obama.

I’m not even going to bother giving a lot of analysis here because this pick is so ridiculous as to be delusional. I sincerely question McCain’s judgment and I think this reflects on his abaility to lead. Are you telling me Sarah Palin is ready to face off with Iran and handle Iraq but Senator Obama is not?! Absolute bullshit. Not to mention the fact that Hillary Holdouts are not going to accept a pro-lifer. Not to mention that Sarah Palin is under ethics investigation. Not to mention that she is closely tied to Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens who is under indictment and that this just reminds voters about the Republican’s ethics problems lately. I mean this pick is a failure all around.

I know you will hear plenty from pundits telling you this was a bold choice and a game changer, but it isn’t the way they say it is. This is only a game changer insofar as it virtually guarantees Obama wins the White House now. This pick simply alleviates any Republican criticism against him better than anything he might have done himself. The idea that this woman can stand in a room and debate Joe Biden about anything other than the Iditarod is simply ludicrous.

In picking Sarah Palin, McCain has thrown a Hail Mary that was intercepted and run back for a touchdown by the opposing team.

Congratulations President Obama!
