Sen. John McCain showed once more a problem with judgment when he chose Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate. He has been highly critical of Sen. Obama’s eight years in the Illinois Legislature and his first term in the U.S. Senate as lack of experience and then chooses a running mate with much less experience.

Second: It is relatively unimportant whether or not Gov. Palin supported the Bridge to Nowhere or not. But it is of great concern that both she and Sen. McCain have repeatedly lied about that support. I could cite many other examples of poor judgment — and lying is more than poor judgement! For anyone to change his mind, private citizen or politician, is not wrong. But to lie about having once had a position or a policy is wrong and makes Sen. McCain a very poor choice as president of our country.
