I've Been Thinking:

In some ways selecting Sara Palin is a case of John McCain out Obama-ing Barack Obama.
The Republican vice presidential nominee is even younger, cuter and less experienced than Barack Obama.

The timing of the announcement was obvious and effective.
Labor Day week-end is as dead a news period as are Thanksgiving week-end and Christmas.

If all the Republicans wanted to accomplish was to steal the post convention thunder from the Democrats - it was a good choice.
But we all know that is not the ultimate goal of the Republican party.
And that is why the greater wisdom of this decision evades me.

She looks good and she sounds good.
And in the world of US politics, an attractive candidate is easy to vote for.
Sarah Palin will draw votes for the Republican presidential candidate, but for all the wrong reasons.
