Obama could have practiced his own rhetoric and been the uniter instead of the divider. * * *

Obama was not thinking like a candidate. Rather than stomach his distaste for H., he decided to play it safe. On the other hand, who would have thought Palin would be McCain's pick? How could have Obama be ready for her selection? Palin's pick was not as outside-the-box as the clueless MSM portrays it. It McCain had picked Bobby Jindal, would you be saying, "Omigosh what a harebrained selection"? I suspect you'd be saying, "Oh No, just when he's doing some good here!" Yet the two picks are not so different from McCain's point of view: both first-term governors, both reformers, both rising stars of the younger generation, both uncontaminated by the Beltway, both unconventional picks that shake up the race. I think it would have been Jindal, but he declined. Lots of people discussed the possiblity, lots of Republicans anyway. Obama should have been prepared. His unreadiness shows that he lives in a media bubble and that his campaign staff is not as sharp as advertised. Biden was clearly a pick from weakness. Couldn't do Hillary, couldn't do another woman, he went with somebody with Beltway foreign policy "credentials" to shore up his own lack of same.
