And no, I'm not upset about the speech tonight. For starters, I could not care less who won the election, so I don't care if Palin wins or not. I do think that she'll provide some amusing media ops though. I can't wait for Tina Fey to play her!
Regarding the issues McCain/Palin care about (or claim to):
-Smaller govt. and reduced taxes: great! I make a lot of money and that would let me keep more of it.
-Ban abortion: I'm not pregnant (being male) and don't cause pregnancies (being sterile), so I don't care if it's illegal or not. My sister wanted one and I paid for her to get in in Copenhagen; the hospital was cleaner and had better food than US hospitals.
-Abstinence ed: no comment other than a chuckle.
-Strong defense: if you think that McCain can "honorably" get us out of Iraq/Afghanistan, just wait and see.
-2nd amendment: go for it. I have lots of guns, all legal, well-maintained, and secure.
I might even vote for the two of them just to watch for four years (they'd never make a second term), but I vote almost entirely based on financial self interest, and all stats will tell you that the wealthy have done better under Democrat rather than Republican presidents every time for the last 60 years (ask your accountant-mine told me, and he's a die-hard Reaganhead).
