Running Mate Humor
Aside from the fact that John McCain chose as his running mate someone who hasn’t even completed a single term as governor of the country’s least populous state, my biggest laugh at McCain’s decision, hands down, was found at Mrs. Linklater’s Guide to the Universe:
“This reminds me of when the Republicans put a guy who organized horse shows in charge of FEMA.”
Meanwhile, the governor of Alaska is a perfect choice to attract those angry women voters who don’t care anything about issues as long as a woman is somewhere in the mix.
But it sort of shoots McCain’s criticism of Obama as “inexperienced” right in the butt. Wonder what he’ll find to complain about next?

I think the Obama camp made a huge mistake by criticizing Governor Palin’s experience. It will only focus attention back to the top of the tickets, where Obama can’t afford to have that discussion. If the Democratic ticket were Biden/Obama, this wouldn’t even be an issue. It’s an upside down ticket.

I think it’s interesting that Palin hasn’t picked up working women like most [male] pundits thought she would; she’s attracting working MEN.
Needless to say, women don’t want just any woman. A female with a working brain would be helpful for starters.
