McCain's Pick

As everyone I am sure knows by now, John McCain has picked Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska, to be his running mate. Mostly people today were saying, who?, when they heard the news. I had never heard of her either. One can say that he is sort of like the old maverick picking someone who was not at all on the radar screen, and who doesn't have a lot of political baggage, I guess. But on the other hand, it is an odd choice. I don't think he is going to get a lot of the disappointed Hillary voters because of this choice. They would not share values with this woman at all, or at least not in the crucial areas. After all, she is an NRA nut and pro life. Nada. The next few months are going to be interesting!
