Sarah Palin - McCain's VP Pick Accused of Corruption, Enemy Of Open Government
Today, in a weird attempt to steal thunder from Senator Barack Obama's rousing nomination event at Invesco Field in Denver, Senator John McCain will announce that he's selected Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his VP pick.
(The matter of the fur around her neck will be discussed later.)
But it's a risk. She's painted as "squeeky clean" but there's not just the commonly mentioned investigation of abuse of power, but allegations from "palininvestigated.blogspot.com" that she's opposed to open goverment and "leads by Blackberry" working to hide records of communications by using that device.
On top of that, there's her interesting college background as a beauty queen, which causes one to want to look in that direction.
But the main question is can she be President of The United States? Can she deal with the complexities of foreign policy? The simple fact one has to ask that question is a problem.
