Thinking about Governor Palin and Those Whom this Decision Target

Writing at ten twenty in the morning on Friday it appears the McCain campaign has successfully created a fog of uncertainty around the imminent announcement of the senator’s running mate. It seems false rumors have been floated and then denied within hours for most of the day.

But the name that is increasingly being touted is that of the governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin.

Whatever else may be true if this turns out to be the senator’s selection it is a bald attempt to recruit disaffected supporters of Senator Hillary Clinton.

For those who might find themselves tempted please recall the governor is a strong social conservative, fiercely opposed to abortion rights and in favor of defining marriage as being only between a man and a woman.

If these are your issues, fine.

You’re supporting a third Bush term…

And all that means…

But if you are longing for Hillary redux and vote for a McCain/Palin ticket, and Mr McCain becomes President McCain, when the next president nominates the next supreme court justice, you will not be happy…

You will be supporting that third Bush term…

And all that means…
