It’s not so much the fact that John McCain picked Sarah Palin as his running mate. For the record, I still think that was a bad choice on his part but that is not the reason I think this place is “Bizarro RedState.”
This really is “Bizzarro RedState”
and how do I get back to the real one that upheld conservative principles
Happy birthday, John Sidney McCain III
You're playing the media and me like a fiddle and I'm loving it!
First “we all” thought it was going to be Tim Pawlenty and it turns out it will (probably) not be him.
Then “most of us” thought it would be Mitt Romney and evidently it will (probably) not be him.
And next up was Sarah Palin but, if ABC News can be believed, she is still in Alaska and it (probably) will not be her.
Did I just step into “Bizarro RedState”?
because I honestly don't understand this sudden interest in identity politics
I am in the middle of a big company re-org and I cannot dedicate the time I would like to dedicate to RedState. But I do come back and post every now and then and lately, I have seen a lot of interest in McCain nominating a woman VP to (quote) “get the woman’s vote” or to “get Hillary’s disheartened supporters.” And especially has the talk turned to Sarah Palin — a Republican I personally like but who is less than a one-term governor of a state with a population of less than the neighborhood I grew up in and who is currently embroiled in a possible scandal involving her former brother-in-law.
I’m for Sarah Palin in 2016 (or possibly even 2012 if McCain fails) but definitely not now.
