derstand. Senator Obama's pick for Vice President is Senator Joesph Robinette Biden. Jr affectionately nicknamed "Joe." What Biden bring to the table is essentially everything that Senator Obama is not. The presidential nominee is currently accused of being an elitist, having a President Kennedy type of aura, inexperienced, being of white collar nature, and seems almost "too phony" for lack of a better word to use. Whereas Senator Biden is viewed as an all around "common blue collared person" or "almost more human than Senator Obama", also Senator Biden bring the much needed experience that everyone raves that the Democratic President hopeful does not possess. The facts that make Senator Biden take on the personality that is so different from is party-mate are that:A) Senator Biden has been in the Senate for almost thirty-five years, which means that he does know his way around politics versus Senator Obama's three years. (((The Experience)))
B) Senator Biden's life has had hardships along the way, his first wife and infant daughter were killed in a car accident while he was first elected to the Senate in 1972. Upon hearing the news, he rushed to the aid of his sons who were also in the car accident but were seriously wounded. He took the Oath of Office on the bedside of his sons. (((The Human Emotion)))
C)Biden currently one of the poorest member if not the poorest in the Senate (yes, the poorest) his net gain one year was in the negative and his net worth is somewhere between $59,000 and $366,000. (((The Blue Collar)))
D) Senator Biden does not really spend to much time around the Capitol after the Senate ends for the day, he catches a train back to Illinois. (((The Non-Elitist)))
Today Senator McCain has announced his Vice President who will be Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin who the h e double hockey sticks is that? Exactly that is going through the minds of plenty of American people. However, I am proud to say I know who she is. Senator McCain choice was a smart choice in his behalf, Senator Palin brings the best of both worlds. Not only is she true to the conservative calling but she is a thoroughbred for standing for what she believes in and is totally honest in how she conducts her business. The newspapers call her inexperience however if you call her inexperience you also have to call Senator Obama inexperience because they entered the Senate around th
e same time. Nevertheless it would be better to have the Vice President be inexperience than the actual President be inexperience. Some highlights of Senator Palin are that:A) Senator Palin holds a lifetime membership with the Nation Rifle Association, she is an avid hunter, ice fisherwoman, eats mooseburgers, run in marathons and rides a snowmobile. (((Conservative Image)))
B) Senator Palin second U.S. woman to run on a major party ticket and is a member of Feminist for Life. (((McCain trying to get support from the Clinton voters)))
C) Senator Palin help pass one of the first U.S. states to pass a constitutional ban on gay marriages.(((Conservative Image)))
D) Senator Palin (due to large surplus) proposed giving citizens of Alaska one hundred dollars per person every month in the form of energy debit cards. She also proposed providing grants to electrical utilities so that they would reduce customers' rates. She subsequently dropped the debit card proposal, and in its place she proposed to send Alaskans $1,200 directly and eliminate the gas tax. (((For the people)))
In closing both Presidential hopefuls did a good job picking members however it is far to early to tell if this was a good or bad idea.
