Ordinary

I have purposely spoken very little about the presidential race that is going on, but I can't hold my tongue any longer.

Every morning since Saturday, I have awoken thinking that maybe today is the day where McCain comes out and says "just kidding, Mitt Romney is really who I have picked."

Sarah Palin? Huh? Wife of a steelworker union member? Former beauty pageant queen? 44 year old mother of five, soon to be grandmother of one? I would like to hear the argument of any person who could sincerely tell me that they believe that McCain would still have picked her if she was a he. And quite honestly, I would pity the fellow.

Who cares if she has a lot in common with the average American? Average should not be what leads this country. How is it that people forget that phenomonal leaders are well, phenomonal?

Personally, extraordinary is what I am after, and Palin is just NOT that.
