From what I've been told, Canadians have an even lower opinion of America after the selection of Alaskan governor Sarah Palin to the Republican ticket. In all honesty, anyone who thinks she's qualified to be vice president, let alone president, is a complete joke. She's a religious fundamentalist in the mold of the wackiest out there, and she's a pathological liar (just check out her continuous claims about the 'Bridge to Nowhere', just to name the biggest one).
I don't blame them. And the fact that the tracking polls now show John McCain even or slightly ahead of Barack Obama after the selection doesn't speak well to the intelligence of the American population at large. That the GOP could get away with such a blatant, cynical pick for a running mate - and show that it would work - is pathetic.
For once in this century, can't America get it right on the presidential level? Just once? That's all I'm asking.
