Was there a speech yesterday by Barak Obama? This morning as I turned on the TV I suddenly discover that for some reason there wasn’t much to be said about it.
What News there was, was about the election of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate and Vice President Choice.
Any bounce Obama received was lost this morning by John McCain. The speech Obama gave was the same old stump speech Obama has made over and over again, which again included a slight reference to his race.
As for Palin she is a lifelong member of the National Rifle Association, hunts, shoots, and fishes.
Her Husband Todd holds a commercial fishing license for salmon. In the mid-1990s, when he got a job working on Alaska’s North Slope, Palin decided to occupy herself by becoming mayor of Wasilla, the state's fastest-growing community.
As mayor, she gradually grew frustrated with Alaska’s “good ol’ boy” style of governance -- so she decided to do something about it. She ran for governor in 2006 and won, defeating popular former Democratic Gov. Tony Knowles
With the selection of Gov. Palin we are now seeing the possiblity of the return of the women’s vote as well as the Catholic and other wide segiments of hte political landscape.
McCain shown again that he is a Mavrick by choosing Sara, a women, in comparison to not choosing Hillary.
