The man who wanted “change,” adopted the Bush mentality on dual Presidency.
McCain, on the other hand, went back to a standard complimentary Vice Presidential pick. Sarah makes up where McCain lacks, but only in the ideological sense. She has executive experience, which no other candidate on the ticket has, she’s engaged in one-on-one diplomacy over fishing rights with a nation we now consider hostile, and she ads that sense of calm, real-world knowledge and strength of ideals that McCain was missing. McCain has foreign policy experience out the butt. He doesn’t need anyone telling him what to do from the rose bushes when it comes to handling the drama of foreign relations. What he does need is someone around to remind him what the average American is thinking, to provide advice on how to effectively run a country from the position of executive, how to do it on a budget and with a smaller governmental body, how to control and curb ethics problems and go after corrupt politicians, and someone to be a watchdog when McCain’s “maverick” ideals get the best of him and he falls back into the old habit of selling the Republican party down the river.
