mccain's newest trophy (work) wife

so, olympia snowe, susan collins, christine todd whitman, condoleeza rice, and kay bailey hutchinson can apparently go fuck themselves. mccain really prefers the younger women, and not just for fucking.
all of the above women, though either slightly or way conservative, would all have been better picks. were the people advising mccain on a running mate on strike? in comas? palin will not deliver union votes, despite her husband's union status- the republican party has been at war with unions for decades now. palin and her husband can't possibly be so goddamned clueless they don't know this- they probably just don't care. palin will not deliver puma votes- those bitches ain't holding out for hillary because they want palin's grubby mooseburger-covered hands in their uteri. palin will not deliver the youth vote- obama has that almost completely locked up with the fact that he's proposed actually doing things differently, instead of just insisting that the same old shit is really new radical fertilizer. palin actually annihilates mccain's whole experience argument- we're supposed to believe that someone who's political career was on the city council and mayor's seat of a town of 8,500 people, and governor of a state of 700,000 for less than two years is qualified because she had the legal power to call the national guard for help? and if she's taking credit for stopping ted steven's bridge to nowhere, can she at least share the credit with jack cafferty?
palin brings mccain one thing (well, two, if mccain is looking for eye candy). palin brings mccain some red meat. the right-wing base of the republican party was never very enthusiastic about mccain, and even rumors of a pro-choice vp caused these nutjobs to throw back their heads and howl at the moon. palin ends all that. palin reassures the fuckers at operation rescue that mccain won't actually expect them to stop telling women getting abortions that they're murderers. palin reassures big oil that no one will stop their profits. she reassures the nra that nobody will do anything about illegal guns, or limit in any way the firepower that people can purchase. she may even give new hope to anti-tax fuckheads, since palin's a governor of a state with no income tax, in which residents actually get cash from oil revenues every year. of course she'll have no problem cutting taxes- alaska does very well without personal income taxes. of course, alaska receives more federal earmarks than any other state. but don't worry, governor palin assured everyone in late march that next year, alaska won't ask for so much. so see, she must be a reformer!
and here's the best thing about palin- for all her hardcore right-wing nutjob opinions, she looks normal. she doesn't have a national reputation for hardcore right-wing nuttery, and very few people outside of alaska know anything about the firing of her ex-brother-in-law. so she can actually impersonate a thinking human being. we'll see how good her acting is.
