Palin Pick - Smart Move

John McCain's choice for the VP spot on the GOP ticket is a very smart move. Sarah Palin, the current governor of Alaska solidifies the still wavering Conservative base, she comes from a state with a first hand interest in and the means to help solve the energy challenge, she's articulate and she totally negates the Joe Biden Democratic VP choice. Biden, who was chosen for among other reasons his pit bull, attack dog style simply can not use this style when debating Palin. It won't work. He'll come off like a grumpy old man lashing out at a woman. There are a myriad of other reasons why Palin is a smart choice. She is as far from a Washington insider as you can get, she was 8 years old when Joe Biden first entered Washington (so much for Obama moving in a fresh new direction) and in her short tenure as Alaska's Chief Executive Officer, Sarah Palin has a track record of taking on big government and saving taxpayer dollars. Sure, she doesn't have a deep resume but neither does Obama. And then there is the Hillary factor. I'm sure the McCain campaign is banking on disenfranchised women voters to make the jump out of their frustration with Barrack Obama. It is going to be an amazing race for the White House. The Jeff Whitaker Show will be on top of the daily discussion Monday through Thursday nights at 6 on WOND. See you on the radio next week with coverage of the Republican National Convention. We'll be running a best of show Monday (Labor Day) and then back life and ready to go Tuesday night at 6. Spread the word for the best election talk in town. 

PS. Last night when Barrack Obama addressed the Democratic Conventioneers one of his lines talked about Republicans offering the same old, same old and that real change doesn't come from Washington but to Washington.... Hummmmm, Obama is a sitting Senator as his Biden and now with the introduction of Sarah Palin in the mix Obama might want to rethink his rhetoric. You think?
