I still think McCain's choice of Sarah Palin will work out as a negative in the end. There are many turns in the road. She will surprise us, and not in a good way. Much as I love her populism, her apparent ordinariness, and her love of the outdoors, I suspect the problem will arise from her character, her self-dealing, or lack of principles, some glaring personal glitch. Also, I think that one of neighbor Anne Kilkenny's greatest insights in her famous email involves Palin's looks:
girl in middle school. Even men who think she is a poor choice and
won’t vote for her can’t quit smiling when talking about her because
she is a “babe”.
That describes me. I admit it, I'm smitten by Palin's brimming feminine energy and figure. She's sexy and seems approachable. As I said, my chimney sweep wants to vote for her because she's so goodlooking. He says, "She's the classic girl next door. In every way." I wonder whether this wasn't also part of John McCain's vulnerability to her. She's hot. And that some day this will be perceived as a Shakespearean mistake on his part, moved by his gonads. Just putting it on the table.
