Obama's terrific speech has been totally overshadowed in the news by this announcement and I guess that was his intention. Good luck with that McCain. I think that after this initial surprise, the more that comes out about Ms. Palin the more she's gonna stink. She's under corruption investigation...which puts her in good company with the rest of her Republican clan. She's big on guns and fetuses. She's a Big Oil buddy. And her sole experience consists of some local government and barely two years as governor of a sparsely populated state. Yeah, great choice there, buddy.
