Palin brainless and mean

As a student and former independent, I've decided to cast my vote for Barack Obama. This latest incident with Palin was the last straw. I hope the people of Alaska will see who they've put in charge to lead their state: a reckless, brainless, mean person who would abuse the powers of her office to settle a personal vendetta. Having just any woman being placed in a position of power is not what the good women of the suffrage movement fought for. What they wanted was equal rights for women, not for a woman to be placed ahead of others more qualified as a political toy.

Shame on John McCain.
