Politics, the Vegas way
Who knows what kind of publicity John McCain expected to drum up when he selected little-known Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate -- but he probably wasn't counting on anything like this.
Club Paradise in Las Vegas recently held a risque Sarah Palin lookalike contest. Contestants had to compete in a debate and strut in a swimsuit while guests voted on who looked most like the vice presidential candidate. The winner received over $10,000 in cash and prizes, including a trip for two to the January 2009 inauguration in Washington, DC. Will there be one or two Sarah Palins there in January, though?
This may be the first time that sex appeal has played such a prominent role in a major US election. But will Palin be able to draw voters to the polls the way she brings people to the stripper poles? We'll find out in a few days. If her ticket falls to Obama/Biden, at least Palin knows she can find work in Nevada.
You can watch a video of the contest here, but it's almost certainly not safe for work.

Ewwww, these women are horrible, and look nothing like the beautiful Sarah.
No McCain probably did not reckon on the sleaziness the Dems would stoop to, to try and destroy her. The attack on her and her family, etc. has strengthened my faith that she will win and Democraps are so scared of her. They will stop at nothing to degrade her and I find this hugely significant...she is a obviously a Winner.

Oh, you were serious?

Yep, Willy, I am serious and also entitled to my opinion, as you are yours. Too big a fuss is being made over Sarah and everything she wears, says, does...her family also. Botox Biden doesn't stir this kind of emotion in people. She has a future in politics, I hope it's the White House.
