sarah who?

So if you haven’t heard, John McCain named his running mate and it’s Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin. Let’s think about this for a moment. I had never heard of Gov. Palin until the other day. It turns out she was the Mayor of a town whose population is 5000 (you probably have a larger budget as student president of a University), then she became the Governor of the least populous state in the Union, and she believes in creationism. To put this in scope, if McCain won and died in office, a woman with no international experience and believes the earth is a couple thousand years old would be in charge of the most powerful military in the history of the world. On that note, if you’re American and will be voting for Obama, please make sure you’re registered to vote.
