Wondering what the Obama campaign is thinking about McCain's pick of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his choice for VP? Here you go.Obama's response, take one:
"Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency. Governor Palin shares John McCain's commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush's failed economic policies -- that's not the change we need, it's just more of the same."
How's that for grumpy? Condescending? Hypocritical? And, not terribly hopeful?
No worries. After rave reviews started to come in and excitement built behind what could very well prove to be a genius pick by Sen. McCain, Obama and team tried again a couple hours later.
Obama response, take two:
"We send our congratulations to Governor Sarah Palin and her family on her designation as the republican nominee for Vice President. It is yet another encouraging sign that old barriers are falling in our politics. While we obviously have differences over how best to lead this country forward Governor Palin is an admirable person and will add a compelling new voice to this campaign."
No doubt, the Palin pick took people by surprise, but the Obama responses may have shown more about who is really better prepared for the campaign ahead... not to mention the challenges to follow.
Obama summed it up well himself.
“I think that, uh, you know campaigns start getting these uh, hair triggers and, uh, the statement that Joe and I put out reflects our sentiments,” Obama said.
Congratulations, Governor Palin. Congratulations, Senator McCain. Great pick. Good luck.
