Frankly, I think McCain chose her because she would appease to the Christian right movement. He was not viewed as a good candidate as far as they were concerned. McCain was a bit too "liberal" for their tastes. Of course, McCain has been slowly changing his agenda and moving more and more to the right. Like Hillary Clinton, McCain wants to win the election at all costs.

Getting back to what is happening at the Twin Cities, I am baffled that these two cities (especially, St. Paul) that are known for their peaceful manners are being treated as if they were filled with terrorists. I am wondering (maybe erroneously) that there has been some "professional" agitators thrown in to divert the attention from the negative aspects of the Republican party and make them look like they are miserably misunderstood by this "liberaly leaning" city.
