BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS John McCain's transparently desperate, shocking, ridiculous and futile attempt to one-up Barack Obama the day after his historic presidential nomination acceptance speech will either appear like uncommon wisdom from a sage elder or about the dumbest thing a Republican presidential nominee has done since naming Dan Quayle as his running mate. Might I add, there was a President Bush involved in that decision.
What scares me is that the best diabolical minds of the Republican party have presumably signed off on this electoral strategy based on other-worldly logic. What do they know about the American people that you and I don't? What yearning have they identified from deep within the electorate that would validate such a cockamaimie choice for veepee. An overachieving middle-aged mom from Alaska elected governor of a state that doesn't even have a full time (or at least annual) legislature. Imagine if Barack Obama had pulled such a stunt.
What's-Her-Name is undoubtedly a worthy candidate for back-up president of the United States of America. What's-Her-Name represents the experience Americans have grown to associate with any vice president. He/She is qualified because he/she hails from one of the United States, albeit the 49th and largest state, that didn't even exist when I was born. As Ronald Reagan might have put it, "If not Alaska, where? If not now, when.?"
What's-Her-Name is a fun story that happens to be a heart beat from the presidency. Who is this woman? And why are we electing her vice president of the United States of America? This is a question that is going to haunt the John McCain campaign every time someone in it opens his or her mouth to attack Barack Obama for being an "untested" leader. What's-Her-Name is a dream come true for the Democrats. A hot Republican who's not only a pretty face and not a man, but she also reminds voters how old he is everytime she stands next to the shoes she can't fill.
