Interestinger and interestinger

Well, John McCain pulled a surprise in selecting Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. She's pretty, she's red-headed, and she's feisty, but what else is she? Her choice blows out the Republican claim that Obama's not sufficiently experienced -- she was the mayor of a town of about 6500 and was governor for two years, and has never faced any real national issues. Of course, she was really nominated in an attempt to get the nobody-but-Hillary voters, and that may succeed, but I'll be very interested in what Hillary has to say about her. It would have been very interesting to know how many others were contacted about the position and declined because they didn't want to be tainted by being the VP candidate on a losing ticket...

Oh, wait! I forgot another key advantage that Palin has -- she does not seem to have ever been photographed with George Bush.
