Can Lightning Palin

John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his VP candidate seems inspired. She's managed to pull in the conservative Christian voters with her "God says shoot 'em and drill it" attitude, and being relatively young and pretty has managed to completely divert people from realising that McCain himself is more boring than unsweetened oats porridge.
Personally, I think she's pretty much the antithesis of everything I believe in, so I'm not keen on her. She's ignorant (but not stupid), devious, and inexperienced. If I were American, I'd be really nervous about having her so close to running the country.
Obama would have been better able to counter her with Hillary Clinton - but he chose first and if he'd picked Clinton, McCain would have picked someone other than Palin, and would now be hammering on the inexperience of the Democrat team.
Anyway, one thing about Palin that isn't bad is her interesting choice of children's names...and here's the

Date: Sunday, 14 September 2008 23:58 (UTC)On Palin. - She is inexperienced, then again Obama has only been in the Federal government for 4 years. Both parties usually see a shotrlived blip after a VP canidate is chosen and after there conventions. Lets wait until September ends before we grow concerned about her adding any value to this race. I'm more worried about her ability to rally people I don't agree with in the future then I am in 2008.
This is where we are today.

These sound just as ridiculous.
