John McCain, the GOP presumptive nominee for President, announced his pick for Vice President yesterday. The VP nominee is the little known Alaska first term governor Sarah Palin. Palin, a conservative is the second woman to be chosen by a major political party to be a VP nominee. The first one was Geraldine Ferraro of NY who was nominated by Democrats in 1984.
Palin will appeal to Hillary Clinton supporters who would not vote for Obama. She is a woman and at 44 is younger than Obama. Palin in her acceptance speech acknowledged Hillary Clinton’s 18 Million votes and Clinton’s effort to break the glass ceiling for women in politics.
It would be a surprise if McCain-Palin tandem would not win the November presidential election. Like the rest of Hillary Clinton supporter, I am still bitter of Hillary’s failure to clinch the Democratic Nomination. Hillary was also disrespected by the Democratic Party officers. If I could, like the rest of Hillary’s supporters, I’ll vote for the GOP bets. I’ve already reached the point where I want to enjoy my BITTERNESS.
Hillary Clinton’s showing at the Democratic Nomination process just show how formidable she is as a candidate. She may not have won the nomination but her status in the Democratic Party is cemented.
