I now agree with you. McCain just handed the election to Obama/Biden

his Veep choice.

What was he thinking? One of his biggest handicaps is his age. So, he
picks a 44 year old with virtually no national experience and only a
year
and a half as governor of Alaska to be a heartbeat away from being
POTUS.



Remember Dan Quayle?
Probably others as limited that I can't remember.

Old "potatoe" head?

The difference is that GHWB wasn't 72 years old.

There were lots of other differences. For starters, GHWB was a smart,
level-headed, experienced player on the world stage, with no reputation
as a shooter from the hip. McCain is a hothead.

I really don't know what to make of the Palin choice. There's nothing in
her record that impresses me. Is McCain now going to change his position
on Anwar?

If I were McCain and wanted to pick a woman veep, I would have chosen
Christy Todd Whitman.
