McCain could not have made a better choice if he wanted to highlight being a reformer and a maverick.

She's pretty much an arch-conservative which appeals to those who worry about McCain's moderate streak. OTOH, she's a real person....her husband is working-class and she's a mom with 5 kids. One of whom is special needs and she knew about it ahead of time but refused to consider abortion on principle.

IMHO, this may change everything. Palin embodies the whole hope, change, Washington outsider platform and she doesn't have to posture to do it.

I'm pretty excited .... sorry, Bob Barr.
