This was an issue brought up from the show Morning Joe on MSNBC. I felt that this was a great example of the great cynicism brought on by the McCain camp. The balanced group is seeking answers during the Republican National Convention. Where I think they make a great point is when they question McCain's judgement in picking Sarah Palin as his Vice President after only meeting her ONE time for fifteen minutes. For all the the criticism Barack Obama and the democrats got for being unprepared for the presidency, it's extremely off-putting that the republican's choice for Vice President would be a very risky choice in the unknown Sarah Palin. I feel that it was their cynicism that led to this choice. They never admitted that they probably picked Mrs. Palin to win the women votes, mostly democratic and middle-age voters who are unsure about Barack Obama. Palin's ability was not the question, the democrats had a black nominee and the republicans had to match their buzz by picking someone that no one expected. This is why I believe John McCain was a bit politically cynical as we described in class.
