Political parties and their policies. That's what the election should be about. It disturbs me how the US election has become a gargantuan popularity contest. Which pres and vp candidates are most likeable? Who can you relate to? Mmm, nice suit Obama and your family is so wholesome... oh, but Palin has that neat up-do and cute-librarian-style glasses. Sigh.

My point is this: Sarah Palin's selection and her views/track record bother me, but what really gets me upset is that it's just another sign of how our political system is failing us.

  • I have waited a long time to see a women run for the white house - unfortunately I do not feel Sarah Palin is the right one - It really bothered me the way they used her son Trig as a pawn. They always made sure his face was facing the camera - Do we really think she will be the right advocate for our children?????
