A conservative Republican woman who idolizes Margaret Thatcher decries McCain’s choice of Palin as cynical and dishonorable:

‘ In choosing a woman he doesn’t know or understand, purely for electoral advantage, he reveals a dishonourable lust for office, a disrespect for women generally and a dishonourable indifference to the future of his country. After all, if this known unknown woman does become president, it will almost certainly be because he himself is dead – quite possible given his age and health – and past caring.’
