...Anbd regarding Mr. McCain?

No one could say it better than the folks on the bestweekever feed:

DENVER -- By picking Gov. Sarah Palin from Alaska to be his vice president, John McCain now boasts the only barrier-breaking presidential campaign option with all the same "hope and change stuff" taste that's high in still feeling good about yourself, but with 0 black guys ending up in the white house. McCain's announcement of his shrewd decision to select a relatively inexperienced and previously unknown woman to share his presidential ticket - which would have been a landmark move were he not running against a charismatic black man whose own historical campaign for the presidency has been steadily building momentum following his narrow victory over a female politician whose achievements were actually remarkable - came only hours after Obama captured the hearts and minds of a nation with his deeply inspiring remarks last night in Denver, but McCain's people assure us this coincidence of timing was in no way intended to dilute the impact of Obama's dramatic and historic speech. So far, McCain's announcement was been met with predictable point-missing. "Wait, so no matter what happens, there's either gonna be a black guy or a woman in the white house? That's awesome!" said some voter who is easily manipulated by cynical politicking and feeble media-sensationalizing. "I mean, I'm all for women and black people and stuff, but maybe we should start slow, like with the Vice Presidency, you know?", added some white guy.

Sooo, the only reason he took her was to try to get the women who would have voted for Hillary...

Instead of picking someone to make the ticket stronger.

Yeap, the Republicans ARE insane...

I'm really looking forward to seeing just what it is that Palin brings to the table... wouldn't it just be a real kick in the teeth if she's like the best thing to ever hit Politics and really fills the credibility gap rather than just being a "Pretty Broad"?

Politically, it may be the best thing for McCain. She has a pretty good reputation in Alaska. She's known for requiring accountability in government, and has supported investigations into her own party members.

No matter what, I think her choice certainly shocked the Republican Party. It wasn't a status quo choice by any means.

What she brings to the table

As a person who has HAD Mooseburger, I can say that this is truly a disgusting thing for her to bring to the table! Like a cross between Pork and an innertube! BLEAGH!!!
