I smell desperation.Sarah Palin cuts a sympathetic figure. Woman ("Dear HRC supporters"). Anti-corruption (which the GOP needs). Child with Down's Syndrome ("awwwww").
But she has little of the EXPERIENCE that McCain insists Obama lacks, so how could he argue that it's a-okay that the unknown Palin would be one-heartbeat-away from a 73-year-old president who's battled cancer 4x?
Sarah Palin is also anti-choice ("Dear HRC supporters ... wait, where'd you go?").
And the lady loves her guns. She'd be the NRA's first pick as their calendar girl.
Yup, she's youthful, and a woman. Check and check. But is she the right woman?
Clearly McCain is "running scared"- just as the pundits said of Obama's Biden pick.
Twitter's gone nuts, predictably, and in all directions (also predictably). Some of my favorite tweets so far?
@Attitude: "Ready to be President" is a double-edge sword that just got sharper.
@joelhousman: Sarah Palin? SRSLY? Was City Council, then Mayor of a town of 5000 ppl, then Gov of Alaska, under investigation for Corruption, now VP? HAHA
@davemooney: Palin's been governor of AK less than two years and is 44. McCain just took criticisms of Obama's youthiness and experience off the table.

I don't know much about Palin, but am also following the Twitter comments with interest and trying to learn more about her.
McCain's argument that Obama lacks experience does ring a little hollow right about now, doesn't it?
Then again, Obama did rail against the Washington establishment in the primaries and then picked Biden as his choice. Not saying Biden isn't a good pick (I'll certainly be voting for the Obama-Biden ticket), but just pointing out that politicians change their rhetoric all the time to suit their latest choices.
This blog is rockin', by the way! Looking forward to following it all the way to the election.
