HINDER - This is the worst choice he could have made next to Cheney. How is a 2 friggin year Gov. from Alaska gonna help? WTF has she done? Pro-Life, NRA ... far right wing bible thumper. Or so I hear...
McCain's ratings will DROP after this decision.

The campaign will get to define her, since nobody outside of Alaska knows her. That is smart, it will help. This assumes he goes with what-s-her-name.

I think it well help a lot. She is one tuff cookie and lives the life by it. I would welcome to see her on the ticket. Still not sure who I will vote for but it was a good choice.
Her story here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin

Is this his answer to Obama not choosing Hillary? "I'll get those Merkins a woman!"
Other than that I don't know enough to comment, and am looking forward to opinions expressed here.

If classic is right, the Hillary crowd won't like this lady.

She has a very tough reputation for going against the grain and status quo. That is a good quality. She is a very interesting mix of a person with a myriad of experiences. She is definitely a person from the masses who worked for where she is today. Definitely not an elitist.

She minored in politics and she was a sports reporter? After reading the Wiki link I just can't help writing "Where's The Beef?"

Minority? Check
Not ancient? Check DC outsider? Check "Maverick"? Check What did you guys expect? Most of the other big potentials were either tied to the Bush camp somehow (that's bad) or would turn the conservative base off even more (also bad). Inexperience is Obama's shortcoming, not McCain's so picking an old school DC person would have gained nothing. I don't know enough about her to say if I like her or not, but this makes sense if you are looking for a complimentary VP candidate.

Is the elitist label sticking to the black kid from the single parent home? McCain's back story screams elitist but the POW thing gives him cover. Is Biden an elitist? I don't know his story.

I assume her people helped clean out the rats among Alaska's long-time politicians.
