>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.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
