Palin winning Miss Wasilla qualifying her for the Miss Alaska contest.

Maybe John McCain is a genius and Palin was just what the doctor ordered, but on the surface it seems super dumb to me.

The pick of a completely inexperienced politician from Alaska has certainly changed the tenor of the debate. But not in McCain’s favor. It turned the Media’s focus to his age. A 72 year old man who has battled skin cancer and general oldness could die at any moment. And as the constitution explains this upgrades the VP to the P. So McCain becomes president, his skin cancer returns, he dies, the runner up for Miss Alaska is the next president.

That has been the narrative in the News. Suddenly this election has become a referendum on President Palin. The news has all but killed off McCain. He wanted a game changer and instead he gave us a reason to question his ability to stay alive if president.

So naturally there must be another reason for this. I think it’s a Republican scheme to destroy affirmative action. For the first time in the history a woman was actually selected for a job devoid of any ability simply based on her gender, and the results are horrifying.
