To the Editor:
I agree with Gail Collins that women are not going to vote for Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska just because she’s a woman.
What’s more, the vice-presidential picks of the two candidates indicate how they view the presidency.
Barack Obama chose his running mate after weeks of careful deliberation, finally settling on someone who is well known and with whom he can govern.
John McCain chose his running mate as a knee-jerk reaction, settling for someone he met only this year and interviewed only once as a potential running mate.
Mr. Obama took his responsibility seriously. Mr. McCain played politics instead.
For the last eight years, we’ve had a president who has politicized every department of the executive branch. Mr. McCain’s vice-presidential choice shows me that his administration would operate exactly like President Bush’s — with politics at the forefront and with a reactionary agenda. Liz Arnett
