See how you have spent a couple of responses trying to fend off these accusations rather than dwelling on the main thrust of your propositions: What on earth was going on in McCain's mind?<BR/>Palin certainly has demonstrated strong political potential and may have been a great choice for someone else. But not for McCain. In fact this choice throws up many troubling questions. Is he, by the contrast thrown up, conceding that his age and health are worrisome issues and if this is the case does he suggest that she with her inexperience is ready to be president? Will he then back out of his charge against Obama's readiness for presidency? Does he realizing that unpredictability is a negative when running for high office? What other surprises does he intend to pull on the american people when in office? Did he listen to his advisers in this matter or was this another example of his "maverickism" - a shot into the alaskan wild? Will he listen to his advisers in important matters if he is president? How logical is his thinking and can he explain why he chose to jump over more experienced women? So I do agree with you. This choice makes me really question McCain's readiness and competency(not Palin's) to be commander in chief.Jackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715385807641039273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8454234438485085302.post-30382361322553212022008-08-29T21:33:00.000-04:002008-08-29T21:33:00.000-04:00Thanks to Maggie - http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot...Thanks to Maggie - http://maggiesnotebook.blogspot.com/2008/08/radical-liberal-bloggers-heres-run-down.html - for linking to my post on her site with the following comment:<BR/><BR/>"Ali A. Rizvi, like Brasky another small time liberal blogger, calls Palin “just a girl”. I’m sure his mother is proud."<BR/><BR/>Because I do have some readers that may be lost on the concept of satire, let me clarify the title of my post.<BR/><BR/>"It's A Girl! And That's Pretty Much It!" is a translation of what I feel was going on in the minds of the McCain camp when they were drafting criteria for a VP pick to pander to a certain group of voters out of desperation.<BR/><BR/>In the post, I also allude to the idea that those Hillary voters weren't looking for 'Just A Girl" - and that's why it's not going to work. To think that is underestimating the intelligence of these women voters. This post would not have had that title if Kay Bailey Hutchison was McCain's pick.Ali A.

My argument is only against the idea of her being qualified to be vice president - or president. From strictly a strategic political standpoint, McCain has now lost the sole legitimate argument against Obama's candidacy that he had - that of experience. <BR/><BR/>And still, if you want to talk about experience, Obama at least has the experience of campaigning, debating establishment politicians 21 times, surviving political scandals, and dealing with the media, which is brand new territory to Palin. Added to this are his 7 years in the Illinois Senate (a much bigger constituency than the 9000 people in the city Pralin was mayor of) and his three years in the US Senate (compared to Palin's year and 9 months as governor of Alaska.) <BR/><BR/>It's almost insulting to women to pass up someone like Kay Bailey Hutchison who has truly worked for what she has accomplished - and trade that for a pretty face (nothing wrong with that if it wasn't an isolated factor) who is a walking talking campaign gimmick. <BR/><BR/>This is going to be an interesting two months.Ali A.
