Still all about Hillary

The choice of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate, if confirmed, means one thing most of all: That in a sense, this race is still all about Hillary.

The imperative for McCain to pick a woman rests on Obama's continuing, relative weakness with some of the baby boomer women who supported Clinton. McCain's campaign spent the week of the convention trying to drive wedge between Clinton's supporters and Obama, and a female running mate would be an ambassador to those voters.

But the GOP's very, very weak bench of pro-life female elected officials forced McCain to take a risk. Choosing Palin makes it far more difficult to criticize Obama's inexperience; she was plucked from a post far more obscure than Obama's to run for Governor in 2006, and has served for less than two years. It also opens the door to stories about her allies in Alaska's allegedly corrupt political establishment.
