The Presidential Elections

It seems that the election has veered away from the Presidential candidates, and is now focused on the newest arrival to the scene. Unlike Barack Obama’s choice of Vice-President, the well known Senator Joe Biden, John McCain’s choice of Governor Sarah Palin was unexpected. It appears that both parties have had a women candidate. Hilary Clinton, although not nominated, was a strong presidential candidate who captured the attention of men and women alike. Hilary had been visible in the political scene for years. In contrast, Governor Palin has risen from obscurity. With less than two months until Presidential Election Day, will we have time to learn enough about her? It also seems that the Republican Party chose Palin in order to capture the votes of women. Isn’t it presumptuous of them to think that women will automatically vote for a woman candidate? The Saturday Night Live video gives a comical but poignant portrayal of Palin and Clinton. What do you think?
