Sarah Palin.....really? Not sure if it's cool yet

Not only is the jury out on Sarah Palin.....they have not even seen the case.  By now I am sure you read that McCain selected an unknown.  The Governor of Alaska.  I am going to do some reading on this lady.  I like what  heat so far about her fiscal responsibility and moral values.  But it will take some time.  I am surprised on how little information the press was able to dig up in the last 24 hours.  

NPR had a segment on regarding Wikipedia, the encyclopedia of misinformation as we call it.  I guess someone close to the campaign went in and cleaned up her wiki page days before they announced.  NPR was trying to make it a shame shame ....is this the first blow.....well it could be if people turn this into something it is not.  Most people do not know that Wikipedia is a site that touts itself as the encyclopedia of the web.  The funny thing is.....there is no overall writer, there are no editors that ensure all the information is correct.  It is a site that allows anyone...including your truly, to write about anything and change anything.  
No one that is web savvy trusts this site for correct information.  You always have to double check the sources.  Anyway, f his is the best that will come out of this....then she will be fine.

On the other hand...this women was the mayor of a town with a population of less the 10,000 less then 3 years ago.  Before that she was a Hockey mom.....no offense meant...but if we thought NObama had no experience, she is not far past him in years in top jobs.

You missed lots of good discussion last night at dinner on this topic. Might be a brilliant move by McCain. Time will tell.

I hear she buys all her voice, video & data cables at www.ShowMeCables.com
