McCain Balances GOP Ticket with Sarah Palin for V.P.
DENVER (Hollywood Today) 8/29/08 — John McCain surprised everyone by choosing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate. Speaking frankly though, she is a young female that may be able to reach voters he can’t. Much has been made of his age, while she is only 44. It is similar to Barack Obama’s balancing of his ticket with his choice of Joe Biden, an older, white and seasoned foreign relations expert to allay concerns he was inexperienced.    The McCain campaign said that Pali

Politicians' Gaffes: Relevant or Random?
With two months and change to go before the election, you can count on hearing a lot about candidates' verbal gaffes in the weeks to come. The latest comes from Joe Biden, who referred to John McCain as "George" in his convention speech last night, a mistake he dismissed as a "Freudian slip." McCain himself has said "Iraq" when he meant "Iran", among other fumbles. But do such slips of the tongue really mean anything? For a perspective on this, I went to Michael Erard, whose book Um: Slips, Stumbles and V

No Miss Alaska For Her, But She is McCain’s Vice-President
John McCain has chosen Alaska Gov.

McCain’s VP is a female Sean Hannity
Republican presidential hopeful John McCain announced his choice for VP this morning. I was just as surprised as you were to learn he picked a woman. I was even more surprised to learn that Sarah Palin is against abortion and everything else we hold sacred. But with her on the ticket, McCain will probably win the election in a landslide. Being a presidential VP doesn’t mean much — only that she’s next in line for the presidency if McCain should suddenly croak while in office.
