"McCain selects an inexperienced woman as VP in order to sway some hard-headed Hillary-or-Die pseudo-democrats and put a young pretty face on his campaign."
(Update: Someone eventually mentioned some of this, I think. Under the editorial headline of, "Has John McCain lost his mind?" or some such thing. I guess it's not really the type of thing you throw into your average "unbiased" news story.)
Facts about Sarah Palin:
She was a sports team mom!
She runs marathons!
Her Husband is a snowmachine race champion!
She was Ms Alaska!
She was on the cover of Vogue!
She served two terms as a city council woman!
Two terms as mayor!
Governor for almost two years
Chair of not one, not two, but three committees/commissions!
President of the Alaska Conference of Mayors!
I'm literally bowled over by her experience...
(Note that all of that except the Vogue and Ms Alaska parts are from the Alaska State Govt. site, I wasn't really mining for silly things to put on the list.)

Who knows, maybe we need less politicians in politics, but this just seems like a gimmick to me. Particularly since McCain had met her exactly twice prior to this morning's announcement, and particularly since it's done such a good job of making everyone forget Obama's speech last night (which was pretty good, though I actually thought Al Gore sounded better before we decided to watch Transformers instead).
