McCain - Palin 08

Wow! The Republican VP choice, Sarah Palin the Governor of Alaska is now on the ticket with John McCain. The one big issue she will have in common with Obama is the lack of experience. The liberal supporters will now use the experience issue that conservatives have leveled against Obama. Now Palin does have the advantage in that she was running a state, albeit a low population one, but one that plays a significant role with energy policy as well as environmental concerns with the ANWAR region. Other sources of contention that we can expect are her strong family and pro-life choices. She is a mother of 5 with 1 serving in the military and her youngest has Down Syndrome. Her background makes her more of a real person than that of Obama and Biden. The democratic nominees are more of the same, both attorney's, both senators, Obama with under 1 term and Biden with several (6 I believe), both males. The Hillary supporters are slowly crossing the stream to Obama/Biden, but you have to wonder if they have just the hint of a gleam that with Palin as VP that women have to feel good about that irregardless of their political affiliation.
