McCains is an idiot.
He might have had Elizabeth Dole or Kay Bailey Hutchison, both loyal
Republicans, smart, experienced. . . but he went with the arm candy,
instead.

VP, he just won the election.
Five reasons why Sarah Palin is a laugh-out-loud choice for VP

Michael Landauer - Dallas Morning News
Seriously? Sarah Palin for VP? It's one thing for millions of voters
to put forward a sitting senator as a possible commander in chief, but
for John McCain to hand-pick a first-term governor of a tiny state is
bizarre. Here are five reasons why, if she is the pick, this is a huge
mistake:
1. There goes McCain's best argument.
He cannot say Obama is not ready but she is. Obama started organizing
his campaign for president the same month she was sworn in to lead the
third-smallest state's government.
2. She has no base of support.
Obama won his senate seat with 3,597,456 votes, that's more than five
times the population of Alaska. He has won more than 18 million votes
in a long, tough primary that tested him and prepared him. How has she
been tested? She lost her first bid for statewide office, then won the
governor's office with 114,697 votes, not a majority, but enough to
take office. And apparently, enough to set her up for the Oval
Office.
3. The "woman card" will backfire.
She's no Hillary Clinton. And this is such an obvious ploy. It would
be different if she were known to anyone or qualified or something.
4. Alaska, a corrupt hinterland.
Yes, she is a hard-nosed, tough reformer. But the McCain campaign will
have to deal with the fact that Alaska seems like a foreign land as
corrupt as Louisiana. It's longtime senator will stand trial smack dab
in the middle of this campaign season, and McCain may have to vote to
remove him from office. Yes, they can spin it that she is someone
cleaning up the mess up there, but what Americans realize is that they
don't know much about what goes on up there. Will they be comfortable
with her?
5. Was this McCain's choice?
It seems clear that McCain wanted to go with Lieberman but was talked
out of it by the right wing of his party. Rove admits calling
Lieberman to ask him to pull his name out. Bush lost his way because
he never stood up to Rove et. al. McCain is headed down the same
path.
