I don't like to blog predictions, if you're wrong you're immortalized "wrong", but the flip side is it gives you a widespread "I told you so" if you're right that extends beyond family, friends and co-workers. So, I'm predicting that Sarah Palin will withdraw her nomination for the McCain's running mate. I say withdraw her nomination, because I'm afraid if she resigns as VP AFTER the election, it will look too political. Either way, then McCain will be able to say, see what I did, or tried to do to bring change to Washington?
Over the past few days, conservatives have disappointed me in their ability to act like left wing liberals. By twisting facts and justifying Sarah Palin's nomination the way the far left normally does with their own affirmative action moves. Let's face it, being executive of tiny, isolated cities and states whose issues do not reflect that of most American cities does NOT make for presidential experience. This choice makes John McCain look presidential. It makes him look like a old man smitten by a smart, pretty woman. No doubt impressive, but not the pick for Vice President of the United States. I'd be saying the same thing if this was on the democratic side of the isle.
I'm not a sexist, I'm a realist and also a liberal, but as a mother, I know a sleep deprived, hormone imbalanced mother of a newborn baby should not be one heartbeat away from "the button". So here is Sarah Palin's out, "My family needs me". It will be graceful, and a reason embraced by the Republican base. If I were Bristol Palin, I'd probably be acting out right now. She must want and need her mother by her side during this frightening time, not to mention planning a wedding.
So that's my prediction, for better or worse it's out there. Now let's see what happens.
