After reading in the Washington Post today about the supposed increase in McCain supporters due to his picking Palin, I think an important point was mentioned by a Democratic strategic: Obama "needs to make clear again to people why they had deep concerns about John McCain," said a Democratic strategist who declined to be identified so as to speak freely about Obama's strategy. "It is because he represents four more years of Bush's policies on the economy and Iraq. . . . The Palin pick is just so much gauze hiding that. The goal of the Obama campaign must be to pull that away."
I think this is very true. Many people aren't even bothering to look at Palin's history, most are just excited a woman was picked for VP. Another issue that scares me, after watching on MSNBC news last night, was that Palin is claiming that the war in Iraq and drilling offshore for oil are all things that God wants. How can she possibly know what God wants?

Whats important in any election is to look at a candidates history. They can be promising many good changes now, but to take a look back at how they've voted and believed in the past can give a good idea of their TRUE policies.

*One more thing I've noticed: this campaign has literally become like two immature children bickering. One party says this, and the other parts fires something back or twists what the other person said. I think we've had enough lies, let's get down to the real issues that need to be addressed. If you can, watch this video and read the excerpt about a comment Obama made, and the reaction he got from the Republican party!
