Yakking for Argyll

Did you listen to her? Nuff said. Looked OK - if, unsurprisingly, overly grateful. But that voice. It screeched, it grated, it was irredeemably sharp and shrill. Intolerable. Unelectable. Then there’s the small matter of experience. Running Alaska for a couple of years is hardly a sufficient basis in understanding and experience for running the USA. And she may have to. McCain is not a young man, even in the extended lifespans of today. He is known to have a sudden, explosive temper. The stress of the presidency, should he be elected, on top of age and spontaneous blood pressure peaks makes it a real possibility that Ms Palin might assume the presidency itself. Now what abut that 3.00am call Hillary Clinton was talking about in the primaries? It’s never going to happen. The Obama camp will already be preparing for Joe Biden to silence her in the Vice-Presidential debates. For the sake of our ears, we must hope he lands a knockout blow fast.
