Another reason McCain’s choice of Palin for VP is a good one:
I don’t like to admit this, discount viagra recipe but I have been seriously considering voting for Barack Obama.
Not because I agree with his politics. I don’t.
But because I just couldn’t imagine voting against the first African-American for President.
I know a person’s race is a horrible reason to vote for them.
But I just couldn’t see myself someday telling a son or daughter that I voted against the first black man running for President.
But now I’ll be able to say I didn’t vote against Barack Obama, I voted for the first female vice president. (Someone who might even prove to be the first female President.)
I know it’s not logical, but I’m being honest here.
I’ll feel a lot better about voting for McCain/Palin in November than I would have for McCain/Romney.
(Unless, of course, she comes across as a complete incompetent on the national stage. We’ll have to see how she does at the convention and at the debates.)
