Palin too good for McCain, she's one of those.

When John McCain first revealed his choice for Vice President, Sarah Palin revitalized a dying campaign. A significant portion of conservatives decided they could finally hold their collective noses and vote for the GOP ticket. Suddenly the republicans were not watching the Obama train disappear over the horizon, they were leaving it in the dust.

So, what happened? Why is Obama out in front yet again? He has done nothing different in his campaign from the beginning. Change is still the only item on his plank. What sort of change? He's not saying and you're a racist if you need any more information. Palin was the only change in the McCain campaign and it was a huge one. The voters did not want someone who had a history of being too cozy with the UN. They did not want someone who had essentially the same circle of friends in his stable as Bush Jr., but they were willing to go with him if he had a running mate with a history of actually representing the middle class...and winning the fight.

Apparently Sarah was too much for McCain's buddies. She has been shoved into the closet with a rag stuffed into her mouth. The old boys club, emphasis on "old", Palin had become almost as much a danger as Obama. The race had become Palin versus Obama. Didn't this Alaskan skirt realize who the presidential candidate was? As clueless as ever, the McCain campaign decided to silence the only weapon in their arsenal.

If Sarah Palin was allowed to take the lead in the campaign, Obama would now be 20 points behind and falling. She had exactly the combination of wit, wisdom and poise that America loves to see in leadership. The problem is, she is not John McCain. She is supposed to be the running mate. She is supposed to be tagging along on McCain's coattails. It is not supposed to be the other way around. Shame on you Mrs. Palin! Get into that closet and shut up.

Well, that is one way to lose an election.

I hope the McCain campaign lets Gov. Palin out long enough to do some good.
