by Bill Hare | September 21, 2008
Events reveal that the McCain Bunglers, also known as his presidential campaign staff, have taken the vice-presidential candidate decision and enhanced on the momentum that the Arizona senator generated when he was unaware of how many houses he owned.
A significant element of the McCain campaign strategy as it sought to run away from the record of its own party with the George Bush-Dick Cheney stewardship was to paint a picture of the Arizonan, with better than a generation in Washington as a congressman and senator, as holding a large experience edge over Barack Obama during tense domestic and international times.
In an endeavor to spurn McCain’s apparent preference of Joe Lieberman for the vice-presidential nomination due to pressures from the religious right over Lieberman’s pro-choice belief, Sarah Palin, a newcomer with an astounding level of inexperience, particularly in the foreign policy field, was selected.
When the mainstream media understandably questioned McCain’s choice and began examining her qualifications to serve one heart beat removed from a cancer survivor of 72, the Arizonan’s “gang that can’t shoot straight” began howling “sexist smear” while choosing not to recognize that any choice resembling someone of Palin’s background would have been given curious and thorough media scrutiny.
The Palin selection destroyed one of the major selling points McCain and his campaign team sought to exploit, that of experience. In that Obama chose as his running mate an experienced Washington veteran in Joseph Biden, the younger candidate was perceived as making a shrewder choice than had the long serving Capitol Hill insider from Arizona.

Meanwhile the McCain “Straight Talk Express” has turned into a latter day version of the Marx Brothers at their zaniest.
