PoliticalChatter

The vice presidential debate was held last night, the much anticipated debate. Some quick thoughts. First, as I watched Sarah Palin the old Dr. Pepper jingle continued to run through my head: You remember, I’m a pepper, he’s a pepper, wouldn’t you like to be a pepper to? Just fill in pepper with maverick and you well you get the point. Memo to the McCain folks; if John McCain is going to pull off the maverick deal, how about some attacks on this ridiculous bailout plan he just voted for. Okay, I understand he had to vote yes, but come on, wooden arrows and race tracks? Also, where are the attacks on the reasons why we are in this situation? It isn’t all Wall Street, Washington, helped a lot.

The post debate chatter. Again another television metaphor. Sarah Palin connected but…Yada, yada, yada, we’ll see what the American people say. Palin may have connected with Joe Sixpack and perhaps she is just the average American. That’s great if she is my teller at the bank, car salesperson or even mayor, but I don’t want average as my president.

Lastly, I have come to the conclusion that the two most popular people on the tickets, Obama and Palin are probably the two least deserving/qualified/prepared/capable of doing the job people, how about a Biden/McCain ticket…If this is our political future God, Allah or Buddha (take your pick) help us.
