Here is why I do NOT.
-She doesn't appeal to me, and I am a female. I don't know how she can appeal to any woman that is not a soccer mom, a PTA mom, a house/trophy wife, etc. She is strictly pro-life and I don't see how ANY Hillary supporter or any female could genuinely like her.
-She is very contradictory. My mom and I watched an interview of her on CNBC last night, and she was talking about Obama/Biden's naive plan to start quickly getting all these alternative energy sources. Any energy plan is going to take a while, so it is redundant of her to say that. But then she went on blabbering about all the oil in Alaska, and she admitted that it would take a while to get those resources as well! She also mentioned oil, natural gas, and COAL. COAL?! Exactly what we and the environment do not need. Of course it's good to not be so dependent on foreign resources, but COAL?!
-Let me continue with the coal. Her pride for being an Alaskan resident is very loud and clear, yes? I'm sure many native Alaskans (she's not even born there) who value the natural beauty of their state HATE the idea of people drilling there. She says that everything she does is for the Alaskan people. Well if that were the case, why is she ignoring what I'm sure many of them are thinking/saying/outcrying about drilling?
-My mom and I watched her uncharismatic and bombastic speech as well, and she (subtly) mentioned her son enlisting in the Army and being deployed to Iraq soon. Enlisted. Which means he didn't go to college and will be making about $1500/mo as a soldier and living in a dangerous, scary environment. Which means he will probably suffer from PTSD like so many soldiers have. Which means she didn't push her son to go to college -- as if she REALLY wanted him to go to Iraq. She pimped her son out for personal gain and I find that absolutely despicable and the least maternal-like thing to ever do.
-She calls the town she ran a CITY. The last time I checked, a town of 9,000 was not a city. I'd like her to be mayor of Dallas or Atlanta or h**l, even NYC, and then MAYBE she would be higher in my book.
-She is inexperienced. If McCain were to die, we'd have this rambling idiot running our country. She's worse than Bush. She's worse than Cheney. She's a HORRIBLE choice.
-HER ONLY SELLING POINT IS HER CONNECTION TO OFFSHORE OIL. In her interview, she was disgustingly rehearsed.
I am just waiting for a McCain/Palin s*x scandal to come out.
