CHICAGO, Aug. 29 /Christian Newswire/- - The following is a statement on Senator McCain's Vice President selection, as prepared for delivery, by Dr. Jessica Davis, the Assistant Professor of Ethics and Public Policy at New Brunswick Theological Seminary, the oldest seminary in North America.

"History may show that Senator Obama made a strategic mistake when he did not pick Senator Clinton as his Vice President. When he did not pick Senator Clinton, he left the door open for Senator McCain. Governor Palin boldly knocked on the open door today when she stated that 'we are going to break through the glass ceiling once and for all' in response to Senator Clinton's statement on her 18 million primary votes representing 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling. The high point of Obama's campaign last night has been eclipsed in the media by Senator McCain's choice for vice president today. This is politics at its best. I have not been this excited about American politics in a long time. I can only imagine that a strategy meeting has been called at Obama's campaign office today."
