The Raptor has been patiently waiting for September in order to assess who our major political parties would nominate to run for President and Vice-President of our United States of America.

The Democrats have chosen Barak Obama and Joe Biden to carry their mantle.  On the other hand, the Republicans are poised to nominate John McCain and Sara Palin as their ticket.  It should be noted that Ms. Palin, who is the Governor of Alaska has energized the conservative base with her tough talking, no holds barred rhetoric.

My father and I exchanged thought on her nomination last evening while dining at The Sandbar.  Dad thinks that by tossing Palin into the mix, the GOP stratgizers are somehow attempting to woo Hillary Clinton supporters who feel jilted into the demographic.  This is highly unlikely.  Palin does not fit the left-leaning politics of Hillary's Army.  First off, a look at her reveals a fresh faced happy camper with an Eskimo hubby who is sporting some exquisite facial hair.

Palin probably has sex about 4 to 5 times per week which is about 4 to 5 times more per week than the pants suit crowd has.  That why she is smiling so broadly. 

The Raptor had been hoping that Mccain and the Republicans would have brought Pennsylvania's Tom Ridge in as the Vice Presidential candidate.  By nominating Palin instead, McCain has lost The Raptor's vote.

Ridge would have sealed the deal but now The Raptor will have to support the Obama/Biden ticket
