    Bear Trap

    The Senator stepped into a bear trap when he was pursuaded by the Limbaugh-Dobsons of his party to select the Govenor to be his running mate. He is used to pain, so he does not realize the trap is firmly affixed to his leg.

    The fact is, he was was going to receive almost all of his base votes anyway, even with a more a more centrist choice.

    The choice of Gov. Palin put millions of votes in play for Senator Obama.

    Who in their right mind is going to vote for someone who has questionable experience, wants to take a woman's rights away, ban books, and probably start a new 'Scopes' trial.

    She would be very dangerous and unacceptable if Mc Cain were fifty years old. At seventy two, imagine a President 'Sarah Barracuda', and who would be pulling her strings from an undisclosed location.

    If the electorate falls for the same story the third time we will truly reap what we sow.
