The media keeps going on and on about if Palin turns out to be great, this will have been a brilliant decision by McCain.   Uhhhh….sorry, it doesn’t work that way.  The point is that Sen. McCain jeopardized the security of this country based on a whim.  For goodness sake…she is linked to a group that advocates Alaska seceding from the United States.  Isn’t that kind of a deal breaker if you plan to pledge to be the vice president of the UNITED states.  After misleading the public for the past five days claiming that Gov. Palin was properly vetted, the McCain campaign has finally admitted that they did not really vet this person before offering her the VP spot.  Reckless.  It is irrelevant how tonight turns out for Palin, if she does end up doing a bang up job, Sen. McCain had no idea about her abilities and therefore just got lucky with her ability to deliver a good speech.  That’s it….luck.   Not brilliant and informed decision making based on some profound wisdom……….just luck.   McCain nor his campaign has any idea of the type of leader Palin is or would be.  Thus far, all the information that McCain and his campaign are spouting about Palin being a “reformer” or a “maverick” has turned out to be false.  It is prima facia irresponsible to choose a person that will be a heart beat away from the presidency after a single 15-minute meeting.  The President will be responsible for staffing many critical and influential positions in his cabinet, it is very, very, scary to know that this is how such decisions will be made.  Gov. Palin will probably give a good speech this evening, after all she has been held up in her hotel room in Minnesota practicing for three days.  This says nothing about her character, judgment, or track record when it comes to the addressing the complicated issues facing our nation involving Al Queda, Russia, North Korea, etc..  Before you say that Obama gives a great speech, Obama has proven his character and judgment to the American people by actually WINNING the democratic nomination with over 20 million actual votes of confidence from citizens of the United States.  McCain himself didn’t win as many votes.  Obama has also shown the American people how he would deal with the national security and economic issues of this nation.  The point is that there is still disturbing information being discovered about the Alaskan governor and McCain, nor his campaign, has any idea what to expect.  A good performance tonight will not change that fact.  This is about the judgment and temperament of the top of the ticket.  In other words, this is all about John McCain.
