And to your point, I never underestimate the stupidity of the American public.<BR/><BR/>Ruth, agree - a totally political, cynical choice.<BR/><BR/>Kevin, agree - the main reason to pick her was her rightwing credentials. I think Tom Ridge would have appealed more to moderates and independents, including the women who are still angry about the Hillary loss.<BR/><BR/>Fran, Schroon Lake is just wonderful. If we were looking for another home in a town, I'd pick that one for sure. But the good thing is, our isolated little woodsy cabin is only about 40 minutes away from Schroon Lake so it's an easy drive.<BR/><BR/>DCap, you are right - every day a new revelation. You have to wonder about McCain for picking this woman without even checking in to her family and past properly.<BR/><BR/>Maria, I came over and enjoyed your post! Will read more and comment more later!<BR/><BR/>Libhom, I think the MSM has been documenting the various things Palin has been involved in. Certainly the NY Times has and I think I've seen headlines in other places addressing these issues as well.<BR/><BR/>Christopher, fingers crossed that this backfires for him. She may even back out. Time will tell. <BR/><BR/>Dorothy, I hope you'll be thinking about your grandchildren and remember the Democrats are more likely to be helping secure their future than the GOP. I think in time it will be clear that there are differences, even though, as you say, they are both career politicians. Keep your ears open when they finally have some debates! Doesn't it seem as if this election year is going on FOREVER?Mauigirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15529827915262851910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34240686.post-81349295463245061482008-09-01T21:17:00.000-04:002008-09-01T21:17:00.000-04:00Politics makes strange bedfellows, and life is str...Politics makes strange bedfellows, and life is stranger then fiction..

Plus it effectively muzzles Biden. The second he sounds like himself in that debate, here come the vapors.<BR/><BR/>America is dumb until proven otherwise in a November election.Randal Graveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08728992897551848531noreply@blogger.com
