What a bunch of crap from the McCain-Palin campaign in the form of VP candidate Gov. Sarah Palin's suggestion to ABC's Charles Gibson that Sen. Barack Obama may come to regret not choosing Sen. Hillary Clinton as his running mate. No doubt other GOP surrogates will be repeating that talking point, transparently designed to sow doubt in voter's minds about the Obama-Biden ticket. If Obama had picked Clinton, the GOP would have continued to mercilessly attack her with what I like to call the Hate Hillary Inc. machine. They would be encouraging the media to do stories on supposed dissent within the Obama-Clinton ranks (and sadly, many would take the bait) and would be beating up on Hillary and Bill Clinton just as they have since 1992. Do you think we're going to buy this sympathy and respect for Hillary's "determination and grit" from the same campaign whose nominee, Sen. John McCain, laughed when a supporter asked him "How do we beat the bitch?"
Oh, and stop saying that Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is close to Russia (or as Tina Fey so brilliantly put it on SNL, "I can see Russia from my house!") That's like saying I'm experienced because I had a Stoly martini once.
Read this story about how vindictive Palin was as mayor of Wasilla and as Governor of Alaska, firing political adversaries and using personal e-mail for official business so it couldn't be subpoenaed in any possible investigation. I'm not opposed to Palin because I'm sexist; I voted for Hillary Clinton in the California primary. I'm opposed to Palin's candidacy because she is by every measure, unqualified for the VP or, if it comes to that, president.
