Confusion Abounds

Ok, I'll make this short until I know all the facts.

What was McCain thinking?

One of the concepts that McCain has been running against Obama is the fact that he has little experience in politics. Why the hell would he then select a woman younger and with less experience than Obama to be his running mate? It's a complete joke--and as a woman I feel like I am being patronized with this choice. Does he think that just because she is a woman that other women will flock to his side? Does he think that just because she is a woman that other women are stupid enough to not weigh the pros and cons of pitting her against Biden, but also his arguments against Obama? I may be seeing more into this than there actually is, but I am offended by any of these ideas that originally occurred to me when I found out who he had chosen. If he had picked just about anyone else, I probably would have been fine with it and not felt that he was taking this as a joke. However, I feel that this says something about the way he is going to run the country if he is voted in--completely "wishy-washy" when it comes to ideals.
