Don't trust the media--Sarah Palin should not be our VP

***UPDATE*** You can find out more about Palin from the perspective of a Wasilla AK resident here.

This video clip should be enough to show that you can't trust the media. Before McCain's pick was chosen, the pundits were giving the obvious reasons why Palin would not make a good VP. Then immediately after the announcement they've changed their tune? Sounds like they are flip-floppin'! Please research the candidates for yourself and don't trust the media. Disclosure: I'm don't approve of McCain's choice. It scares me to think that Palin would be able to step in if McCain was incapacitated because she has no national or foreign exposure. And no, you cannot compare her to Obama because he has been vetted by 18+ million votes.



I think this choice really betrays how McCain makes tough choices. He uses his instincts (which could be wrong) more than information. His lack of judgement is clearly shown by the fact that he did not really check out the background of Palin before he offered her up for public scrutiny. Now, instead of admitting his mistake, he is stubbornly defending this woman despite her allegations of corruption, flip-floppin' on earmarks and thin resume. Sound familiar? I do not want third Bush term and I hope that you don't either. Please vote Obama/Biden '08!
