John McCain's announcement of his vice presidential pick had all the similtudes of a reality TV show Friday. America's Next Top Veep will be airing this fall in prime time slots, be sure to tune in!
John McCain's selection of his running mate and possible Second-in-Command is a window into how a "President McCain" would make his executive decisions. A 72 year old cancer victim has opted to put the unknown and inexperienced Sarah Palin from Wasilla, Alaska a "heartbeat" away from becoming our new Commander-and-Chief. Both Barack Obama and John McCain have been campaigning longer than Mrs. Palin has been govenor of her state. The move was an obvious political hail mary pass as opposed to a serious and thoughtful choice. It was a last ditch effort to cajole some of the disaffected Hillaryites and to assuage the extreme and religious Right, but was it a presidential decision? Does this reflect prudent judgement or incautious gimmickry? It appears that Senator McCain will be looking for a new slogan because "Country First" is out the window.
