I predicted that McCain would chose Palin. His choice was clear after Obama's speech. Any other VP pick and that pick would be eaten alive by the energized Democratic machine. All the Democracts would say about Palin is that she's 'inexperienced'. As a rabid fan of Obama, I know that a successful mother of five can gain and draw as much experience to do anything as the most seasoned diplomat. Just because she isn't paid for motherhood, it doesn't mean her experience being a mother doesn't count. After all, she also have to 'mother' the dysfunctional government of Alaska, the sneaky oil companies, and the now-disowned Ted Stevens.
