Strange, but it makes sense--this is a blatant appeal to the Clinton Democrats, a group of misguided women who have decided they will vote for McCain because Obama, not Hillary, is the nominee (despite the fact that McCain's platform is a 180 degree difference from these voter's ideology).
What doesn't make sense--and what I'm dying to hear McCain explain--is how he can justify picking a VP who is younger than Obama with LESS experience!!! What has the single biggest attack been about Obama from the GOP? His experience! He's a first-term senator! He hasn't visited Iraq as many times as I have! He lacks judgment!
Now, Palin has a surprisingly strong record on energy/global warming, at least if we compare her to the GOP base. BUT, she is a first-term governor from Alaska and has absolutely ZERO experience in the foreign policy sector, which is, coincidentally, the second biggest attack we've seen from McCain towards Obama!
So, once again, I cannot wait to see McCain justify this blatant appeal to young, change-oriented voters. Call the act of a desperate man, but this VP choice smacks of hypocrisy.
