Obama's choice was for the country; McCain's choice was for McCain.

I wonder why that is? You'd never know we grew up in the same house! :) I think McCain picked Palin hoping women would just vote based on gender and ignore the issues. Obama is sending out Hillary -- who these same women trust and worked diligently for -- to remind them that issues are more important than mere gender.

It's interesting to see our reactions to the speeches of the different parties. differing policy opinions aside, i found the republican's much more enjoyable to watch. They greatly overstate the threat to america's national security, but at least they joked around some. Hated watching the dems though. having nothing to do with their actualy proposed solutions, all they do is complain. I'm not reminded of what a great country we live in. every other word out of their mouth is saying how terrible the economy is, how the country is going down the crapper. I understand if hope is your message you first have to make people feel bad enough to need hope, but yeesh. I find their brand of fear mongering far more bothersome than the republican's. my second point is more of a question for you. I know you seemed particularly offended because you think mccain picked palin just to get women voters. are you equally offended that obama is deploying hillary and two women governors out to important states to shore up the woman vote? seems kind of like if he's going to try and sway women that you should be offended at if you want to be consistent. if you accept that mccain picked palin to get women voters, then how is obama being any different by using women to deliver his talking points so those silly women don't fall prey to palin? two quick things while i’m on lunch.
