Like Margaret Thatcher before her, Sarah Palin terrifies those on the political left. As you well know, I am no leftist and I'm concerned, very concerned. Because of McCain's age, she would be the VP with most significant chances of changing job titles during her first term in a very long time, since Reagan's last term. If she ends up President, we will toxic partisanship and divisiveness redux. I am sick of that brand of politics. I do not wish to have social issues dominate the national debate. I do not want to hear about abortion, creationism [what a crock that is], etc., for anyone with half a brain knows the relevant problems are fiscal and economic. She knows very little about them. I get a lot of mixed messages from the campaign. McCain will sell himself as the great reconciler, a guy who routinely avoided corrosive partisanship, while Palin will be the pit bull? I suppose that is the strategy, cover the base with Palin and go for the Dems uncomfortable with Obama through McCain. It's a very odd strategy because it sends mixed messages. Also, the Dems uncomfortable with Obama are going to be much more uncomfortable with Palin. Very, very odd political strategy, one I think will not work. Reminds me of the furor over Goldwatrer. The GOP was wild about Barry [I liked him, too] but no one else was. He got trounced.
