The point no one seems to get is that by choosing a woman for his running mate, John McCain has laid bare the stark reality of the massive split in the Democratic party, that was directly caused by Obama when he passed over Hillary Clinton and chose instead a true political, old school, No Change hack like Joe Biden, a man who loves to hear himself talk and won’t shut up once he gets on a roll.

It’s not just that McCain did the unusual, or that he had the courage to give the first woman in Republican history a chance at being vice president, or that he very openly had capturing the disenchanted Democrat womens vote in mind when he made this choice. Most of those women don’t care about the reason. They cared like Hell about being shoved out of the race by men and they’re plenty angry at Obama for doing it to them once again. What Obama didn’t see and what McCain did, is that politics steps aside for principle on this issue. Women finally saw their chance at the White House and they want it. They’re hot for it. Does anyone really think that they care which party fields the first female candidate?

When Democrat Walter Mondale ran against the incumbent and extremely popular Republican Ronald Reagan in 1984, he chose as his running mate Geraldine Ferraro, a woman with limited political experience, like Alaska governor Palin.

Geraldine Ferraro also declared her candidacy to be a sign of “Change”, just as Obama does now. Unfortunately for the two of them, Mondale was not well known or popular and Ferraro proved to be very poor at campaigning. Pitted against the huge popularity of Ronald Reagan, the Democrats suffered their worst defeat in electoral history.

Times have changed. I note with wry humor how our media points at this or that mistake made by the Clinton campaign as being the cause of her loss to Obama. Passing the buck seems to be a media specialty, since they are the cause of her loss to Obama, by constantly parading his wonders and glories before America as their darling, and ignoring and soft-pedalling Clinton. The plain truth is that Obama is where he is now directly because of media influence and for no other reason.

Even though close scrutiny of Barack Hussein Obama is anathema to the press, the emptiness of his “change” rhetoric is becoming more obvious with the passage of time and the inevitable comparison that we all have to make between him and John McCain. John McCain has true cojones. He really is a maverick, but a brilliant one. The man has savvy. Barack Hussein Obama has brilliant oratory that is totally empty. I keep listening to him, waiting for him to actually say something with substance and meaning, but he never does. It sure sounds good, though.

Choosing Hillary Clinton as his running mate would have assured Obama of the win. By snubbing her and picking a hack, he snubbed 18 million Clinton voters and a lot of them aren’t real happy about it. Obama, the supposed man of change, the self-proclaimed uniter of the Democratic party, has instead split it asunder and John McCains choice of running mates has made this far plainer than any words, any speech could ever do. Our media can ignore what he says but they can’t ignore what he did.

Look to see millions of write-in votes for Hillary Clinton in the November election. I’m predicting a groundswell movement will emerge to write her in on the ballot. This will have little effect on John McCain as it will be Democrats voting for Hillary, but it will have a big and damaging effect on Barack Hussein Obama.
