I'm usually just a lurker, but I couldn't resist commenting this time in order to join Amanda (from Part I) in applauding you. You've made excellent points in both of these posts. I can't stand Sarah Palin, to be completely honest. I don't understand how a woman can be so adamantly against women's rights, and what's more, she knows nothing about foreign policy. She doesn't even know what the Bush doctrine is! The idea of someone like her being a hair's breadth away from presidency is terrifying to me. McCain's choice of her as VP has just made me even more stalwart in my hope that Obama will win the election. As you mentioned, the McCain/Palin ticket seems so backwards. How will the US ever improve if the government doesn't consider what's best for everyone rather than just a select few? Hello.

And I have to say though Obama may not be the best candidate there is, he is, definitely the lesser of the two evils and from what he says, an agent of GOOD change. It seems a strange concept to me that people would even consider the McCain/Palin duo because their stances on so many things are just so frustratingly unfathomable! But that's just me speaking and I don't even live in the USA. :p Either way, if undecided people read these articles, I'm sure they would definitely thoughtfully consider the option you've given them as a quite obvious and sound choice.

Especially here in Europe, the reputation of the US and it's citizens has gone to the dogs ever since Bush and I'm pretty sure it would just get worse under McCain/Palin. But of course it's not just about reputation - politically speaking McCain/Palin seem to be stuck in the Medieval Ages, and that's just unhealthy these days.
