I'm quite used to jokes in politics, but can anybody tell me why the Reps chose Palin, who
1. gives her children names resembling comic figures
2. lives in a heavily overcrowded state, which will add at least how many votes to McCain?
3. doesn't know what a VP has to do
4. has met the wannabe president only once before
5. is involved in an abuse of position case
etc.
How do the Reps choose their candidates? Did they draw her from a number pool? How come that the majority of delegates approve? McCain isn't much of a spellbinding speaker, does she have her qualities in this field? What ARE her qualities? Has she a rich uncle who showers the party with regular big donations? Do the Reps take the election serious?
