Why I Hate Politics.

McCain picked his running mate today. She's been a governor in Alaska for two years. She describes herself as "the average hockey mom". I read this in the New York Times article about McCain's choice for vice president:

Then, making an explicit appeal to Ms. Clinton’s disappointed supporters, she said, “It turns out that the women in America aren’t finished yet, and we can shatter that glass ceiling.”

What the fuck. This is why I hate politics. Its so corrupt. McCain knows damn well that he only picked her because shes a woman and she will appeal to all of Clinton's old supporters who REFUSE to support Obama because they are so die-hard about Hillary. I'm so angry because its threatening to Obama's lead and so extremely obvious that he only picked her because of her gender. If this weren't such a diverse race, McCain would've gone with anyone but a woman. I hope that Clinton's fans are offended by this and do not give in to McCain's plan of wooing them with his beautiful, "average", middle-aged vice president. I just looked up some info on her and even if she were fairly picked, I wouldn't think she's ready. She has no international experience and hasn't been involved in higher politics for very long. This is a joke.
