I'm really tired of McCain touting offshore drilling. It's not even a temporary solution. Then again, he also believes that so long as there are desperate American workers to exploit the economy is sound...
Well, he's just applying the old axiom of giving people what they want, rather than what they really need. For short term political gain.
I know that probably everyone is getting burned out on talking about Palin, but it seems like a similar sort of thing. I've been hearing from some folks that they really want to vote for her because "she's just like us", that is, she appears to be a typical woman of a particular social-economic class.
And that's as far as the analysis goes. No mention of her ideas, her record, etc. And that makes me rather sad and scared. Apparently, for many people in the US, as long as you comply with certain standards of dress and speech, it doesn't matter what you believe.
