Politics Schmalitics

So, here we are once again with all this political junk in front of us on a daily basis.  I really try to stay out of it for the most part because I don't really think it has anything to do with "me" or my daily life.  It also is too easy to become a "fanboy" of one party or the other and in the process lose the ability to remain objective and think clearly.  So all that being said, I do think it's OK to have an opinion and share it.  So, what's my opinion of Republican VP nominee Sarah Palin?  On the surface, I like her!  She's smart, gutsy, independent, and all the other adjectives the conservative base is using...    On the other hand, you can't help but feel like it's all a big gimmick made in desperation by a party that know's this nation has had enough.  A "hail mary" pass if you will.   I probably still lean in that direction.  I think it'll either be the thing that gives McCain the presidency or the single biggest mistake in the history of politics...  No middle ground in other words.  I did come across an interesting story by someone that's known her and her family for several years and lives in Wasilla.  I definitely think it gives you a different perspective on her because it doesn't come across as mean or praising but just "factual".  I'm sure there's some bias in there because frankly I think it's almost impossible for any of us to not have it in one way or another.  Anyway, enough of Max on a soapbox.  Click here for the story.
