Sarah Palin Be Buggin'.

Everyone is apparently very excited about Sarah Palin. She was a model! She's a single mother! Her daughter's pregnant! I don't care about any of it!

The trouble with this election (as I am clearly in a position to point out, being a person who sometimes writes things on the internet for no clear audience) is that it is the culmination of image

sarah palin isn't a single mother, she's married to her high school boyfriend.

also, i think you're right in saying she was chosen as a counter to mccain being a wrinkled up old walnut, but also because a large percentage of the republican party and republicans in general dislike mccain- he's just not right wing enough. considering the huge powers of persuasian the christian right in america posess (they basically pushed bush into power) they can't be forgotten, so palin is there to satisfy them. she's all religious and anti abortion and disagrees fundamentally with the constitutional separation of church and state.

This is why I don't get into politics; because my lack of knowledge shames me into a dreadful silence.

On the plus side, I get to use a whole load of italics, so it's ups and downs.
