McCain's VP

John McCain picks Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, for vice president.



Now the conversation must turn to: Who will Sarah Palin select as her running mate? Because John McCain will soon die.


Seriously, the GOP ticket is now Cheney-Bush. If Bush had ovaries.

Extremely intelligent choice.

Palin will pull many Hillary supporters away from BHO, as well as unite the conservative base of the Republican party (who hasn't been particularly excited about McCain) behind McCain.

To say, though, that's she "just Bush with ovaries" is just immature politicking.

affable but inexperienced Governor, friendly face for an unfriendly party= Bush circa 2000.

she's a fun choice, though. Certainly McCain's best option, for the reasons you mention.

"Inexperienced" is an argument that the Obama camp will stay as far away from as possible...

and yes now that you explain it further I can see the Bush comparison.

the idea that she will pull hillary supporters away is condescending and counts on the fact that female voters (i.e. i pray a handful of dumb soccer moms in middle america) will be lured over by her likeness to clinton (i.e. boobs, ovaries).

It is not condescending.

It is realistic to the fact that many Hillary voters stubbornly cling to the idea of not voting for Barack Obama because, "Dammit, we wanted a women to be president!"

Just like there are (I won't say many, because I have no evidence of this other than a few personal anecdotes) Barack Obama supporters who want him to be president for no other reason than, "It's about time we had a black president!"

You clearly do not realize the high proportion of Americans that choose their candidate based on Dumb Reasons.
