I love Hillary Clinton a lot, and I think Obama should have chosen her as VP, but the very logic behind this ad is flawed.
- Since Clinton and Obama were political opponents, OF COURSE they spoke against one another. Have you ever heard of a campaign that listed the positive qualities of their rival?
- Just because Obama didn’t pick Hillary as VP, doesn’t mean he hates her of is afraid of the “truth” she speaks. In fact, she has been campaigning for him, begging people to vote him into office.
- “She won millions of votes” and so did Mitt Romney, who is not McCain’s Vice Presidential pic.
- How can McCain say that Hillary is speaking the truth. It’s hard to believe, if she had beat Obama, that McCain would say she was speaking the truth. This proves that this argument is purely politically fueled, not based in any consistent assertion of the truth.
This speaks to McCain’s psychology. He can’t imagine that you wouldn’t pick a popular rival as your VP, and yet he did not pick a popular rival. He chose a politically weak Palin with no knowledge to speak of about Washington. Palin is definetely not someone who could have said anything negative about McCain, since she is a “Washington Outsider”. McCain is hypocritical in this argument, and he pokes holes in his choosing of Sara Palin.
