Well, do the republicans want a VP in training?&lt;br&gt;Do we vote for some one we have no idea how &amp;nbsp;it will shape Americas future?...domestically&lt;br&gt;and abroad..? &lt;br&gt;McKneeJerk seems to be only showing a distal regard of centering the country needs and policies into some sort of weak gesture to pander for voter support outside the GOP...&lt;br&gt;Or is this a grand gesture to show he needs youth and womanhood on his side? &lt;br&gt;In any event, voters took 2 years to understand Barack Obama's political views...and with only two months until election day., a lot of ground needs to be made up by Gov. Palin.. &lt;br&gt;It's not a matter if John McCain likes her.&lt;br&gt; It's a matter of will the trust of the nation be prepared to have a lose cannon one heart beat away from their future. &lt;br&gt;It seems most of the issues within the GOP are not issues..they just desperately (by hook or by crook) must do anything to get your attention and your vote.&lt;br&gt;Well quite frankly, I have issues of unemployment and retirement and health care and housing and children's education and budgeting that far out weigh if some one was able to cleanup some crooks in their over affluent state government. &lt;br&gt;John McCain runs his campaign more like an incumbent. &lt;br&gt;Let's hope and pray that never really happens...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama/Biden'08&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
