To repeat: She wants creationism taught alongside evolution in public schools. CREATIONISM.
Gallup and Rasmussen completed polls today, and they show no dent in Obama's >3+ lead.
BLT, I think that picking Feinstein would have created a ridiculous amount of backlash from Clinton supporters and women in general, as we're seeing in response to Palin already. It would have been seen immediately for what it was (whether it was the true intention or not) - a transparent pandering to get women's votes.
Furthermore, the fact that Obama didn't pick someone who could have sewn up the election is pretty stupid actually.
I still disagree, because of the retarded state of our politics. If he had picked Jim Webb for example, to try and sew up the red-leaning Virginia, everyone would be going on about how Obama is obviously a slick, cynical politician who made his VP pick just to win. Typical two-faced politician, etc. I suppose you could say the Biden pick is second (or third?) level cynicism: Making the non-political pick for the sake of making the non-political pick, which makes it a political pick. And so on.
When you run a campaign based on remaining above petty politics, you must practice what you preach. As a result, at times it seems Obama is being overly cautious and slow to attack, but it is because of this restraint that this race will remain relatively civil in spite of ridiculous, retarded crap put out by both sides.
He made the Biden pick on principle, the principle of having the best possible vice president of the US. Isn't that what we want?
