A bunch of thoughts before the choice is made

I woke up this morning thinking about this entire election process and how far we have come. I thought of Hilary Clinton coming to George Mason today and I thought about the ‘what ifs’ for this election. What if Senator Barack Obama chose Hilary for his VP? And I went into great detail in my mind what would have happened. All of the Hilary Supporters would have gone crazy, and been so happy that she would have a chance. A lot of Obama supporters would have said that was a bad call, but most would have supported him because they love him through thick and thin. The next spur of thoughts that went through my mind was what would Republicans say about him choosing Hilary Clinton? They would say that she does not have enough foreign affairs experience. They will criticize her clothing style and say that her pant suites won’t hide the fact that she still is a woman. They will say that Barack Obama just chose her because she is a woman and that he should have chosen someone more qualified for the job of VP. They also will probably say that the two of them together are just too inexperienced to lead the country out of the current economic crisis. The two of them will not be able to get us out of the war either. They need to wait another four to eight years for them to gain more experience. A lot of Americans will compare Senators McCain experience to Senator Obama and Clintons experience and say that McCain has more combined experience than the two of them combined. Basically they would get on Clinton’s case just as hard as they are getting on Palin’s case about most of the issues that they media is playing out for the public- from hair to her experience and credibility. I feel that despite my bias, there is no such thing as the perfect candidate for presidency every has their faults. It is impossible to please all of your voters 100 %. So no matter what move the candidate makes, there will always be people who are not going to like the decision and complain/ make a big deal over it.
