Palin is a typical politician


I saw Gov Palin being interviewed on ABC News. She was asked her opinion of the Bush Doctrine. She would not give a straight forward answer. Why didn’t she answer it straight forward? My guess is that she doesn’t want to praise the Bush doctrine lest she offend independents and Democrats who dislike Bush, nor does she want to denonce Bush which would offend the conservative base.
This action really disapoints me. It seems like she is already subcumbing to the disease of politics as usual, dodging important questions like every other politician. She seems to be acting like a typical ordinary politician. All this talk about reforming government, her baby with Down syndrome, and moose hunting just seems like a bunch of props to maneuver her way into office. I don’t think there is anything extraordinary about her.
But I am still voting for McCain-Palin simply because it will be a nightmare for our nation for Obama to win. But I am not very exciting about McCain or Palin. I was already planning on voting for McCain before he made his VP choice.

Pawlenty for VP


The best choice

In my opinion Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty would be the perfect choice for McCain’s VP. Why? There are several qualifications a the veep needs to have;

1: Should be solidly conservative and attract votes from all ultra- conservatives, especially from the religious right.
2: Should be young and good-looking.
3: Should from a critical swing state.
4: Needs to be able to handle the presidency (in case McCain dies in office as president).
Correct me if I’m wrong, but based on what I know it seems like Pawlenty is the one who meets all of these criteria. Especially since he is a Christian conservative, he would do well on #1.
I think Tom Ridge would be a good running mate too, but he is pro-choice which I’m afraid might make him less popular with evangelicals. I am an evangelical Christian myself, and I will vote for McCain regardless of who his veep is.
