John McCain has chosen Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his running mate
This is a very clever move on the part of the McCAin ticket. Sarah Palin is the mother of five children, Pro Life has Executive Experience as Governor of Alaska. She has been pro oil development with a successful campaign to build out the natural gas and oil production from Alaska.
Her fifth son was born with Downs Syndrome which will be great visibility for the substantial community of those living with handicapped children. The issue of inexperience in foreign policy is easily handled by the fact she is in the number two position. The inexperience on the Democratic ticket is at the top.
This is a thunder stealing pick which will mitigate much of the convention bounce Obama would receive from Denver. How many Hillery voters will be compelled to see their chance in 2012 for a woman just go through the roof. The Clinton strategy for a run in 2012 after a failed attempt by Omama in 2008 just got more complicated. Can you see two women running at the top of the ticked in 4 or 8 years. Wow this is going to be a “hum-dinger’.
