My gut feeling is the Sarah Palin selection is all about four important things: Oil, Halliburton, Cheney, Greed. Choosing her may seem preposterous to many of us but she is a critical, strategic and brilliant choice for people in the Bush shadows with big money riding on new oil and energy sources.
And perhaps that is why Cheney has been MIA in the press for at least the last six months that I've noticed. He is keeping his head down while going about his real business of keeping things in play post Bush. McCain doesn't matter to him. This 72-year-old reprobate is a smokescreen, unwitting or participatory but nonetheless, irrelevant to the sinister Cheney/Rove shadow government that has been running this country in the ground the last 8 years.
That team needs this woman to protect their investment interest in the Alaskan pipeline and elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if wind energy is blowing bucks across Texas and beyond and into their personal treasury. The mission is power and profit for the few self-designated, greedy, masters of the universe.
C/R have proven their boldness and demonstrated their cynicism consistently. They are submitting for approval an outrageously unqualified candidate for the critical heart-beat-away job because it will assure that the public will remain distracted while they operate in the background continuing what they've been doing at least for the last 8 years - using, at any cost, this country's political, social and financial capital to grow their personal wealth.
Win or lose in November, Palin is their guarantee now because the chattering nabobs who pass themselves off as journalists can be counted on to do no digging that would make any connections. With 24 hours of air to fill they never will. They will remain pretty faced and preoccupied picking through the low hanging fruit that is a 17 year old unwed mother and her 18-year-old boyfriend.
