Clueless John

Well the much bally who'd VP debate is on tap for tonight. I know I'm quite fearful Gwen Ifill will walk on to the stage in St Louis, and start reading excerpts from the manuscript of her new book. In the background I can listen to Morning Joe Scarborough, go through his mantra for the umpteenth time, imploring McCain just to float Palin between Limbaugh and Hannity. Righttt... So your going to have the first female Republican VP get interviewed by two guys who pride themselves on being the unheard voice of misogynist nationwide, exclusively? Possibly it hasn't occurred to Joe these guys don't have a big fan base with women. Make no mistake, Katie Couric was speaking for a lot of women, when she asked the question she did. A female has to be twice as clever, and work twice has hard to succeed in most male dominated professions. The Monday morning quaterbacks will point this out November 5th. Why did McCain handle Palin the way he did? Perhaps the answer lies in McCains background with women. Nice to have around, better if their blond, even better if their rich. Possibly he didn't bother to ask working women of America, if this is the image they want portrayed of who they are. By the way, they cast 54% of the votes in the last Presidential election. Shara Palin should have been allowed to walk straight in to the volley of the press, much like Hillary has. Sure she'd make some mistakes, but she'd also learn. A tip, pick up the phone and call Saturday Night Live. A five minute skit with Shara Palin and Tina Fey could turn this to the advantage of the Republicans overnight. Or did we forget how Hillary handled this kind of thing, it ain't rocket science folks. Good luck, Straight Talk John.
