Well, it looks like the McCain camp has gone with “younger and even less experienced than Obama” with his choice of Sarah Palin [wiki], the current Governor of Alaska, as his Vice Presidential nominee. They are clearly going for the Zombie Hillary-for-McCain PUMA crowd, who apparently will vote for anything with a vagina, despite the conflict with their own interests, such as her being anti-reproductive freedom. The horny white-male demographic may also gravitate to her, as Imus and the boys have referred to her a ‘milf’ with a ‘slutty librarian image’.
She clearly is a friend to the energy industry, given her support for ANWR drilling, pipelines, and the like. Oh, and there is a teeny-tiny minor abuse-of-power issue in scandal-ridden Alaska that her fellow Republicans are threatening to investigate.
BTW, Wikipedia had the news 2-hours prior to the official announcement. Fivethirtyeight had the math a month-ago.
