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

Claymore, if you were born to Sarah Palin, your name would be:

Very nervous, yes.

If they get in, we might have World War 3 with the Russians after all...

Well, McCain/Palin might start a war by being aggressive, but Obama/Whoever might start a war by being the exact opposite of aggressive. As for me, I really don't see that many difference between the two groups as they will bend to the flow on the most voters, which is in the middle. I'm all in favor of None Of The Above 2008.
