My favorite, or maybe least favorite part of the election so far has got to be when Obama and McCain announced their running mates. 

I was extremely surprised with both choices. Obama's pick, Joe Biden, I felt was a no-name old fogey that he felt might appeal to McCain supporters. I don't think he has a very strong voice on issues- although I ma just be sub-consciously ignoring them because if how i fell about him

McCain's pick, Sara Palin, was another shocker. This loudmouth woman governor from Alaska has a potential seat in the whitehouse? At first I actually liked her. My friend had me convinced that she would be good because she's a strong woman who could empathize with mothers of disabled children, like my friend.

Then i read an article about how she fired all the people under her that didn't agree with her policies, and decided to hire 5 of her schoolmates, some of which didn't even finish college into high governmental positions. 

So, now i think Palin is a power-hungry, angry woman who likes to change things to make everything more convenient for herself.
