John McCain has chosen Sarah Palin, the governor of Alaska, as his running mate.
The choice is absolutely brilliant. If there is any chance of wooing away lots of disgruntled female Hillary supporters this may be the best shot. The only problem is Palin’s pro-life position. Then again, you never know.
Palin, an ex-beauty pageant Miss Congeniality, is about to take away superstar status from Obama. The media is going to go absolutely crazy over her and Ann Coulter will probably shrivel into a clump of ash in jealousy.
On the down side, I'm not sure I can think of any one of the possible choices that may be less qualified to be President. Most of her experience is as the mayor of a town of 6,000 folks. This is a real consideration given that McCain is 72 years old.
Perhaps more importantly, no matter who wins, the country is about to have a first. Either we’re going to have an African-American or a woman on one of the two top rungs of political power.
I didn’t think McCain had the balls to pick Palin. Guess I was wrong (so what else is new?).
