The gimmick of picking Palin is THE reason not to vote for McCain.

As the crisis in this country and the world becomes more and more apparent and its long life a certainty, we need a team of at least two.

Obama/Biden is such a team. Can you really, honestly consider Palin as an asset on the McCain team? His pick of her may have been seen for a few days as a shrewd strategy or tactic, but it is now apparent that it was nothing more than a gimmick.

Given the myriad of important issues facing our country why is she out on the stump doing nothing to explain the solutions of a McCain administration and is simply reading smear cue cards.

Has she become irrelevant? YES! Has McCain's poor judgment in picking her? NO!
