Palin Watch

Whew! I was worried McCain would choose a real right wing nutter who looks presidential (like Mittens Romney). Instead he picked a real right wing nutter, but one who is unknown and who has only two years of experience as governor of one of the least populous states in the nation).

I guess this is his gambit to win over the disaffected Hillary fans. Fortunately, this choice can only weaken Grampa McAngry's criticism of Obama... If McAngry thinks that Obama has insufficient experience, how would whatshername compare? How many times has SHE been to Iraq and Afghanistan? How many times has she ever left the country (or even the state)? How can she be considered ready for being just a heart-beat away from the presidency?

I would be more worried if McSame had chosen Condi Rice -- although she has been entangled in all of Bush's fiascoes, she seems to escaped most of the blame... A quasi-moderate like Ridge would also have been problematic.

I think the dems should go after Palin hard. What a strange choice. Perhaps Palin reminds McOld of his great great great granddaughter from his first marriage?
