I don't quite get it (originally published June 2008)

Sarah Palin is a strong advocate of abstinence education and family values. Bristol Palin, 17 year-old unwed daughter of Sarah Palin, is five months pregnant. When it came time for Sarah Palin to marry husband Todd, she eloped, choosing not to include her family in her marriage.

A $100,000 investigation is currently in progress in order to determine whether Sarah Palin's decision to fire Alaska's Public Safety Commissioner was an abuse of power. Suspicions arose when it surfaced that the Commissioner was fired shortly after refusing to fire a state trooper who happened to have recently gone through a messy divorce with Sarah Palin's sister.

The extent of Sarah Palin's political experience is under two years as governor of, as John McCain put it, the largest state in our union. That largest state is, of course...Alaska. That's not to say she is experienced; As McCain will gladly tell you, she has plenty of experience with the PTA and with selling state planes on Ebay. How about foreign policy experience, you ask? She has been out of the country. Once.

Out of all of the millions of Republicans who live in this country, John McCain selected Sarah Palin as his running mate for the 2008 presidential election.

I'd like to clarify two things. First, I have nothing against Sarah Palin or her daughter as people; I just don't quite understand how McCain would see Palin as an asset to his ticket. Second, I'm not angry with McCain's choice of a running mate; I never wanted him to win.
