Sarah Palin - McCain's VP Pick Accused of Corruption, Enemy Of Open Government

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.

Obama fans and delegates enjoyed the afternoon at Invesco Field in Denver

On the 28th of August, 2008, the Democratic party nominated U.S. Senator Barack Hussein Obama to be their endorsed candidate for President of the United States of America. The 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream..." speech on the mall in Washington D.C. now marks Denver, Colorado as another key site in the long march for racial equality in the U.S. - Senator Obama is bi-racial: his mother was a caucasian woman from Kansas, and his father an African from Kenya

It was a bright, warm, sunny afternoon in Denver. The line for admission streched for miles as excited attendees including the 6,000 conference delegates made their way into Invesco Field, the home of the Denver Broncos, to watch the last day of the Democratic Nominating Convention, culminating in Obama's acceptance speech.

First, some volunteers:

And no story about August 28th would be complete without comments from delegates. Two Minnesota Delegates took the time to comment on the goings-on, Mira Vats-Fournier of Faribault...

...and Minneapolis Mayor Raymond "R.T." Rybak, an early advocate of the draft-Obama movement, and the first big-city Mayor to announce his endorsement for Barack Obama's improbable candidacy.
