When Sarah Palin was chosen as McCain's pick for vice president, I took the news with decided optimism. I reasoned that she was a good political choice. She was young, pretty, female, charismatic, and different.
Then I realized I had just described all of the qualities of a good candidate for Miss America and began to change my stance.
As the campaign went on, I quickly realized that she wouldn't have stood a chance in the Miss America Pageant.
She had the speaking ability of Miss Teen South Carolina, and about all the brains.
No, I am not impressed by the fact that she is "a hockey mom" or that she enjoys wearing lipstick.
