Bullfrog — this is not just about winning a “contest”…this is about being the next leader (and team) of the United States…
At present, how can we say that we have seen McCain bring “good people” to the table? Lobbyists? Karl Rove? Tucker Eskew? KR Protege Steve Schmidt? Turnover within his campaign? And now a VP pick who has the punditry spinning that living in Alaska = foreign policy experience b/c it borders Russia… Or that she has leading the National Guard experience (except governors usually don’t, just ask Maj. Gen. Craig Campbell, adjutant general of the Alaska National Guard)? Troopergate?
Again, I think this is more about McCain’s judgment and lack of respect for the American people than what Sarah Palin brings to the table. Seriously, just ask her own mother-in-law about what she brings to the table.
A “maverick” would have given a one-finger salute to his talking heads and chosen the person he thinks is best qualified to be his PotUS co-pilot.
Instead, he elected a person that speaks to the party base and that he barely interacted with.
