You got it!! and the inverse, I'm sure, is why the Dems so despise
McCain's pick.
Obama, who has been touting "change" picked a career Washington
politician, he of "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts
unless you have a slight Indian accent" fame, and he even declared he
"wasn't joking". But, Biden really likes Obama, he even publicly stated
that he was "the first mainstream African-American
</wiki/African-American> who is articulate and bright and clean and a
nice-looking guy."
Yeah, REAL winner for change there...
On the other hand, McCain has always been a maverick Republican. Those
Republicans that dislike him, or are ambivalent at best (and I am the
latter group), feel that way because he takes many stances that are to
the left of strong Republicans. While Palin would definitely be
considered a "balance" (she's much more socially conservative than he),
she certainly brings a new "format" of politician to the ticket.
So, you folks keep crying out the current trend. We'll sympathize with
you all the way to November.
