Back into the mud
Otter likes to run and watch GMA as the start to her day. The discussion today was on Sarah Palin as a VP pick for McCain and some of the Obama responses to her selection. “Inexperience” and “cynical political ploy” were gist of the discussion from what I heard. This brought up a connection in my mind that I haven’t seen anywhere else that is really relevant since Obama says Bush is really McCain’s running mate:
Obama looks a lot like George Bush right now. In order to overcome a derth of experience at the national level, he selected an old Washington hand (Biden, Cheney) to take care of that. Given how well Cheney has worked out in being too active in the government, isn’t a neophyte in the VP slot a better choice? Hell, Bush at least had some executive experience which is what Palin has as a previous mayor and governor in Alaska. No one else on either ticket can say that.
I think this election season is going to be very interesting. 
E: Dang it, other people are smarter than me. Of course, the author also points out a lot more points of congruence between Obama and Bush. Agent of More of the Same, here we come!
