This is a bad day for Obama's campaign. McCain was smart enough to wait for Obama to choose his VP before he makes his decision. That was a home run for McCain but he won't fool me because he vetted Palin as a so called Maverick woman. We all know that John McCain has been in the senate for more than 26 years. All of the sudden this man claims he's going to change Washington by a blink of the eye. Well, well, well, he didn't do so during his career in the senate and know a big percentage of the voters believe all the crap they hear from his campaign. I also hear women and men saying that they are so inspired by Palin beliefs. These people would buy any crap they hear from McCain and now from Palin. I'm pretty sure Mcain/Palin ticket will gain the white house this coming November and no matter what we do, the Republicans will always win the white house because of their extreme ideology when it comes to foreign policy. A huge number of Americans do have a warmongering mentality especially in the south and the Midwest of the country. They'll vote for the Republicans because of the so called religious believe they embrace even tough if the economy is in bad shape, it won't matter to them. The so called family's values are a priority before the economy even tough a big percentage of these voters are very poor. In reality, we are witnessing the American decline and there is nothing we can do to stop it. If Republicans win the White house this coming November then prepare yourself for the worst. America is going backward while other civilized countries are going forward.
