Sarah Palin as Vice President?

I think that was the worst choice John McCain could have made. She has no experience and she doesn't know the issues. She has only been governor for less than two years. Before that, she was mayor for a small town (less that 9,000). Before becoming mayor and before she became governor, she was a stay at home mom. When she was running for governor, she never answered any tough questions. She either side stepped the question or the Lt Governor candidate would step up to the mic and answer for her. She's also under investigation for firing her Public Safety commissioner because he wouldn't fire her ex brother-in-law. I think Mr McCain brought her in hoping she would siphon off Hillary Clinton supporters who are worried about Barack Obama. But her views on abortion will hurt. Although she claims to be pro oil, she instituted the highest tax ever on the oil industry. She also wouldn't allow them to bid on a gas line project. Instead she picked a canadian company that doesn't even have the rights to build the gas line in Canada. It's highly unlikely they will get them, which will doom the project. Most in the state wanted to see an all Alaska gas line instead of one going through Canada.
