Palin was clearly a fairly cynical political move designed to fire up the base and attract women voters who don't care for Obama because he ousted Hillary, qualifications, experience, etc., be damned.

Let's assume you are right. McCain's job is to get himself elected. Where do you think he would be in the polls, and more important, in the enthusiasm of the base, if he had gone with a conventional pick? You are faced, as always, with "false alternatives." That's what Democracy is all about. Compromise.

Do you want McCain to go down with a "I'd rather be right" campaign like Goldwater? And allow Obama and his flying monkeys to get in and establish the most Fascist Government since Wilson?

Hold your nose and vote for McCain.
