Republican Senator John McCain Turned Up the Heat Today

Senator John McCain is no fool when it comes to politics. Make no mistake he is playing hardball to win in November. A candidate in the Republican Party is making history today by reaching out to women. Today he chooses a woman as his vice presidential pick. He knows that their are a lot of women today that were disappointed that Senator Hillary Clinton was not picked as Senator Obama’s Vice President. We are now faced with ignoring a candidate that is a woman in favor of a candidate that chooses an older white male as his running mate.

McCain is hoping to use the issue to drive a wedge between Senator Obama and the women in the Democratic Party. Senator McCain could care less about giving women a real voice in Washington. There were far more experienced women he could have chosen for his vice presidential pick but he wanted someone with no experience so that he could control her if he is elected to office. Senator Hillary Clinton this woman is not! She is nothing more than a pawn for the Republican Party to throw at the Democratic women in hopes that they can pull this election out of the fire at the last minute.

The question remains will Senator Clinton be able to remind her supporters that it was not just her sex that made her a great candidate worth fighting for in this years election. Senator McSame has made the mistake once more of underestimating the Democratic Women in this country. We are not fools and we understand what is at stake if he should win in November. We want someone who will take our moral values and issues to Washington this fall. I am sad to say that some women will probably by hoodwinked by this move but it is up to us to work hard to make sure they understand what the real issues are this year. It will be up to Senator Obama to show us that he cares deeply about the issues that affect women in this country on a daily bases. He made a great start last evening during his acceptance speech in Denver.
