I think it's a hell of a pick

and smart for the future of the party. If McCain wins, now he has a VP that can run. (whereas cheney couldn't do that, biden won't be able to either, not that I give a shit about the dems)
Agreed.
I've noticed that at least one fairly liberal board is foaming at the mouth today. Hardly any mention of Obama's babbling last night and devoting the day to trashing her. Lot of "Jr. college beauty queen podunk mayor" type comments, pretty immature stuff even to someone that hangs around arfcom GD. They've also convinced themselves that 143 days of senatorial experience is far more impressive than 2 or so years governing a state (because Alaska is podunk sticksville not nearly as important as Chicago). Rather amusing, but I have to give it a break or I'm going to get banned from the place.
