What Scares Me About Mccain's/Gop's Choice for Vp

In summary, Deepak Chopra discusses the impact of Gov. Sarah Palin's selection as the Republican vice presidential candidate on the national psyche. He compares her to Barack Obama, stating that she represents the shadow side of his idealistic and visionary message. Chopra analyzes Palin's appeal to many Americans, highlighting her emphasis on small town values, ignorance of world affairs, and rigid stands on social issues. He also notes the irony of her being a woman and a reactionary at the same time. Chopra believes that the upcoming election will be a contest between the forces of progress and inertia, with Palin shedding light on this conflict. He concludes by stating that it is important for voters to see past the surface persona of candidates and understand their true intentions.
