McCain’s Calculation Exemplifies The Worst In America

Tweet

John McCain’s choice of Sarah Palin for vice-president is the same old Rovian divide-and-conquer electioneering strategy that got George W. Bush elected president – only worse. I'm not gonna say it’s a poor choice, it just clarifies the road McCain has chosen. Obama’s choice of Joe Biden was unexciting and yet a very smart attempt to create a well-rounded ticket not to gain votes by cherry-picking demographics, but to lead the country if elected.

McCain’s choice on the other hand was clearly designed to appeal to more than just undecided women voters and the over-rated evangelical block. McCain can now boast his candidacy to the presidency is just as historical as Obama’s and he is willing to risk dividing the country over it.

McCain has effectively created a new camp driven by our deeply underground national conscience fed by a latent discrimination of gender and race. He is willing to exploit those feelings by banking on that given the choice, bigoted and racist confederates will prefer a woman first over a black man to reach the Oval office. He's willing to resurrect the worst in America, for his own reward.

I supported Hillary Clinton in the primary, but not because she is a woman - and I now support Barack Obama, but not because he’s african-american – but only because they both happen to share the same democratic values, ideals and potential for reform and hope as I have. Oh, dear me - I’m such a partisan.

McCain’s vice-presidential selection once again proves it’s just more of the same.

High Risk, High Reward Excerpt:
"Palin has more executive-level decision-making and governing experience in two years than Obama and Biden do combined," said Scott Reed, Sen. Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign manager.

Hey, Scott.....did you forget John McCain? Perhaps Palin should be at the top of the GOP ticket?
