How is choosing Palin a push to the left? She's a far right-wing nut. On any issue you care to name she's probably to the right of McCain.

John Thornton

^^^^^ CB: There are lots of far right men he could have chosen. So , why would he pick a woman except because she is a woman. Lets call it a faux left move. It's still a concession to the demands of the women's movement. And it is "left" in the sense that it is anti-right. It throws mud on a central right-wing position: do not chose a candidate _because_ she is a woman. It's is basically affirmative action ! How is Rush Limbaugh going to explain that ?
