Politics 2008:The Caucuses and The Dem/Rep Conventions

she was chosen to appeal to those disgruntled Hillary supporters. however, the McCain camp cannot talk about Obama's inexperience. reason being, this woman has only been the governor for less than 2 years, prior to that she was the mayor of a small town. she has no real foreign policy experience and she's under investigation for using her office in a rather shady manner (getting an in- now "out-" law fired).
we'll see how this plays out.

in listen to cspan this morning, ALOT of people are commenting on obama's lack of experience. "he's a good speech maker but..' "he hasnt been in a war.." OR "my life is great, so..."

obama's experience is going to be called into question.

Everybody in my office was going around asking each other who is she, what is her background....If he was going to go for a woman was there anyone else with a little more name recognition that he could have picked in these last 67 days?

Maybe it's just me but a part of me feels like he is using her. If HRC didn't have such strong support or was never in the race to begin with, would he have still felt the need to get a woman? Don't get me wrong in theory it is about time that women are getting to play for the offices of POTUS and VP seriouosly. But do it because that's who you feel is best for you, not because you are scrambling trying to get another part of the demographic. If I wasn't voting for you on your own, why do you think just because you added someone who you think I should 'relate' to soley on basis of gender or race that I will now? Just MYO....(but I know there are those who will)
