OP-ED: John McCain is Using Sarah Palin to WIN the Race

Is it possible that John McCain is using Sarah Palin AND her family to win this year’s election.

Following Barack Obama’s dramatic convention, John McCain comes out with a VP pick that shocked his party and the nation.

And, the biggest shock came yesterday as we learned that Sarah’s 17-year-old daughter Bristol is five months pregnant.

What’s becoming clearer by the day is that John McCain is simply using Palin to energize the conservative base – the one that wants to eliminate a women’s right to choose.

With his first MAJOR decision, women and men need to take a serious look at where McCain will take this country – and more importantly the Supreme Court.

If McCain picked Palin – a staunch pro-lifer, guess what will happen to the Supreme Court?

On another note, many are comparing Palin’s experience to Barack Obama’s experience.

That’s a joke – but not to the Republicans.

The big difference here is that more than 18 million voters selected Barack Obama – while one person selected Sarah Palin.  (A mad man in fact!)

And if this is the example of the type of conservative John McCain will pick – vote wisely in November!

Using Palin?

So, the answer is yes.   McCain is using Palin and her family.

And sadly, she’s more than happy to go along for the ride – even while putting her pregnant daughter in the stressful national spotlight.
