It seems a strange choice to me. McCain apparently thinks he can win by
doubling down on the ultra-conservative Republican base, but I think
that is a pipe dream. With this choice, McCain has thrown away his
"experience" argument. And for the moment at least, she has an
investigatory cloud hanging over her head.

Maybe he knows something we don't, but I don't get it. Both sides
generally move to the center to get elected. McCain has been steadily
moving to the right. I'm just wondering how many independents he's going
to attract, independents needed to win.
