I follow the American election news with mild interest, only occasionally reading articles that are featured on Yahoo, and my opinion of Palin is unusually low, particularly of the whole "bridge to nowhere" issue, where she allegedly opposed it as wasting money, when all other media sources claim otherwise. I know that the media can be ocasionally biased and report factual errors, but the websites and news articles that state this (and other factual errors that the McCain ads made about Palin) are considered trustworthy in my book.

So why did McCain decided to choose her as his running partner? I was previously ambivalent about both McCain and Obama, but just this caused me to swing more into Obama's side. Could Palin be McCain's downfall? Only time will tell
