Palin Options

[Robert]

Just wanted to point out I called Palin as VP over 4 months ago, for all the same reasons the decision was made now.
If McCain wins, I honestly believe this will be what puts him over the top.

Also you couldn't ask for better timing to make this announcement.
The DNC convention ended last night with a huge bang an there's not a single leading news story about it.
The news is 100% about Palin as VP.
Talk about stealing someones thunder.

I hope they win an McCain dies the next day.

Something I do agree with Hamma on.
While I don't strongly agree with the McSame argument, I do completely agree that will be McCain's biggest hurdle. In my personal opinion it's his biggest weaknesses.
McCain played much better as possible president when he was more of a centralist or Moderate.
Unfortunately for him, I think his prior independent attitude was better but he had to move more right to capture the Republican nomination.
In a roundabout way I think this is why Palin will play so well for him.
Both sides will find something to like in her.
She's a very strong conservative so the hardline Pubs will like her. While at the same time shes taken a strong stand against Republican interest when she personally disagreed with it, which the more independent Pubs will like.

Win or lose, yesterday saw a huge spike in my interest level.
