McCain chooses his VP

This comes as a HUGE surprise to me!

McCain has chosen Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate. Palin is the Governor of Alaska and ONLY 44 yrs. old. I say ONLY b/c I find it amusing that McCain consistently bashes Obama about his 'young' age, and here his running mate is 3 years younger than Obama.

Palin is the first woman to receive the republican nomination.

I think that McCain chose Palin for one main reason:
TO TAKE SOME ATTENTION AWAY FROM BARACK OBAMA AND TRY TO HEAD IT TOWARDS HIS DIRECTION.

I mean, COME ON, McCain picks a younger, unknown, hardly-any-experience WOMAN, b/c he thinks that she's going to be a great VP???

Yeah right! He did it for publicity and to refurbish his image. He wanted to appeal to the women voters- mainly those that were rooting for Hillary and are still on the edge of whether or not they want to throw their support behind Obama. He wants to steal their votes by bringing in a woman VP. And he wanted all eyes on him for once, and not on Obama!


And yes, that's the same Sarah Palin below, that is pictured above.
