Earlier this morning, Senator McCain (R), chose Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Palin is pro-life, pro-teaching creationism in school, and is essentially another standard member of the Republican base. She is 44, making her YOUNGER than Senator Obama, which refutes McCain's "Obama is too young." Palin has been governor of Alska for only 2 years and brings essentially nothing to the table for McCain.
For all intents and purposes, it highly looks like this was a mere publicity stunt to blunt Obama's convention bounce and to try to sway independent women. It's not going to work. Plain is extremely far right, is not known at all outside of her state, and "is no Hillary Clinton." If anything, this will sway women even faster toward the Democrats and Obama.
This was a risky choice for McCain, and it looks like it cost him the election.
