Reply #220: Obama is not a creature of DC. [View All]

He's a believer in a 50-state strategy, which ultimately came from Howard Dean. There's no way he would choose another Clinton for his VP.

More power to him!

McCain chose Palin, unwisely, because of her perceived religion. It's terribly manipulative. He's desperately trying to hold on to the base that surfaced with Reagan--who, by the way, was an old Dem and dragged some old religious Dems from the South to win the presidency.

The wonderful thing about Obama is that he is tired of such divisions. He doesn't see religion as being a factor and still believes that all of us can agree on ways to deal with problems. He is a magnificent human being.

I love Alaska and plan to return soon to see my family and friends, but I have to tell you, they're scratching their heads at the Palin choice!
