What was John McCain thinking when he picked Sarah Palin as his running mate? Maybe it was love at first sight because it does not look any proper vetting was done. Why did Palin not turn him down, as she was not ready for national scene. Maybe the temptation to become vice-president and hence president some day was too strong. However, whatever it was, it is backfiring. One feels sorry for Sarah Palin after watching her interviews with Charlie Gibson on ABC and Katie Couric on CBS. Palin does sound out of her depths, a deer in the headlights.
Now McCain is keeping Palin under wraps. She has made too many gaffes in a short time on the economy and on foreign affairs. McCain is supposed to liberate Afghanistan from the Taliban and set the women of Afghanistan free, but he seems to be practicing veiling his own veep from the media and the public. Now she is somewhere on McCain’s ranch in Arizona (one of his 12 houses) and next time she may be unveiled for a short time is for the vice-presidential candidate’s debate on October 2, 2008. All the best wishes to her.
