Update: McCain and Palin will lead like Conservative Republicans, I expect the Libs be upset about that. The issue isn't experience...its Ideology. Do Lefties (Fitman excluded) think that if Palin were to take over as Prez, she'd make a B-line to the red buttons and press them all like a little kid? I don't think so.  If Palin is called on to lead this country, she'll step in and do it. Liberals, hate Conservatives for being  Conservative, that's what your good at. 8/29 Update: John McCain's new VP nominee has as much experience as Obama, she'll hold her own against anybody foreign or domestic. Like I've said before, what it comes down to is Ideology. Sarah Palin will be a strong advocate for Conservatives and all Americans for that matter. Shes a smart cookie and very well spoken, no wonder Conservatives are stoked. Original: I know McCain is considering someone from outside DC, this one is waaay outside DC. The woman factor would get votes (however stupid a reason that is) votes are votes, she might deliver a close race state. Not a bad choice.
