another brief note...
Aug. 29th, 2008 12:55 pmHoly shit John McCain!
He's picked Sarah Palin, 44-year-old governor of Alaska as his running mate. She's a real social conservative, who ran on an ethics/reform platform. McCain is iffy for social conservatives but with Palin on the ticket, he just locked them in. Palin is: pro-life, pro-gun, pro-drilling. She's got a child with Down's Syndrome and another serving in Iraq.
Dude. The Republican base is going to love her.
The only disadvantage to this pick is that it eats away at the 'experience' the Republicans are selling with McCain, as she's a relatively new governor, and before that was mayor of a mid-size Alaskan town.
