John McCain has scored a stunning tactical victory in his campaign for the presidency. You have to give him credit as a good tactician.
And the opposition underestimates him at its own peril.
But as a strategist, he sucks. Sister Sarah is a disaster in waiting for a gullible electorate.
I’m really angry with McCane for exposing America to the possibility of Sister Sarah sitting in the Oval Office just for a short-lived tactical advantage for his campaign.
Where is this man’s integrity? He bleats about how he would rather lose the election than lose the war, but in reality he would rather lose the nation than lose the election.

WASILLA, Alaska - Gov. Sarah Palin lives by the maxim that all politics is local, not to mention personal.
So when there was a vacancy at the top of the State Division of Agriculture, she appointed a high school classmate, Franci Havemeister, to the $95,000-a-year directorship. A former real estate agent, Ms. Havemeister cited her childhood love of cows as one of her qualifications for running the roughly $2 million agency.
Ms. Havemeister was one of at least five schoolmates Ms. Palin hired, often at salaries far exceeding their private sector wages.

As Byron noted, "In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office."
Looks like that raise was worth it. http://campaignspot.nationalreview.com/post/?q=OGRiMWFhNWY4MTgzMjI3NjEzNGQwMWFiMTlhYmRhN2Y=
Also: "In among them was a request for $1 million in federal funding in 2006 for a new pavilion at the University of Chicago Hospitals, where his wife, Michelle Obama, was a vice president at the time. The request was not ultimately included when Congress passed spending legislation that year, according to the Obama campaign."[link:;www.huffingtonpost.com]
