you know i think i refrain from my statement though.... i mean if you think about it it actually is a smart move on both their parts:
before this year, people would have said a black guy and a woman together would probably have the lowest statistical shot of winning the presidency. Obama is
already out a fistful of bigots for being black, if he had a woman VP he'd alienate the rest of them. I think biden was a really lousy choice for a VP but he's a really WASPy (white anglo saxon protestant) guy and i think that's part of the reason he was chosen. Mccain on the other hand already is a token old white guy, so he stood to gain the most by picking up a woman or a minority
no disrespect here but it really was a wise scheme on both Obama and Mccains' part.
