My stomach literally folded in on itself when I heard about McCain's pick.
My only hope is that those 'smart' and disgruntled Hillary supporters can see through the disgusting ruse nominating a female running mate is.
Personally? I think the disgruntled Hillary supporter storyline is one that's been blown out of all proportion by a press eager to create a little intrigue so they don't have to talk about anything real. All week I've been reading the blogs of people who were actually in Denver and they said there's no "rift" in the party and there's nothing but support for Obama. If McCain's camp is betting on really sewing up the female vote because they've got a woman on the ticket, I think they're in for a surprise.
What concerns me is that this move will just make McCain look like less of a doddering old fool, and I KNOW the "liberal media" is going to pick this up and run with it -- "See! He really IS a maverick!" The Democrats need to keep HAMMERING away at who McCain is and what he really stands for so that the whole election doesn't get framed as "Experienced Maverick" vs. "Charismatic Empty Suit."
