Hello all

Hi there everbody. I'm Johnny, 29 from St. Louis and I'm writing this blog because.....well for it's a requirement for my Special topics in Journalism class focusing on the campaign season. I will from time to time write on other topics but for the rest of this semester (or until November) it will be focused on politics so here we go.
So it's been 3 weeks now since McCain has made his annoucement as Sarah Palin as his running mate. I'm still waiting for the punchline here people. This has to be a bloody joke because it's such a ridiculous idea. After making such a huge deal about the lack of experience Obama has, you go and pick Palin??? The one person who has even less experience than Barack!!! It bring up so many questions here. Do Republicans think all women are stupid??? How many of the supports of Senator Clinton, who when their gal had a chance were so proud to be Democrats have no switched over simply because Palin is a female as well?? Now I realize that Palin is most definitely a nod towards the extremist wing of the republican party. In that respect someone who thinks like she does is a great statement to the party faithful, who in general seem to care about the unborn than those who are alreadly on this earth. But she is such a polar oppostite of Senator Clinton no "democratic woman" could possibly vote for a McCain Palin ticket. And it's clear that being the vetters for the Republican party must be the easiest job on the planet. Maybe I can get that gig after I graduate from here this spring. Well that's about it for tonight. Love and Peace (or Else)
