McCain/Palin '08

McCain has made a great choice for VP, the popular (90% approval rating!) pro-life governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin. Now I think I will be able to support the McCain campaign with fewer reservations. And this will certainly make this fall's campaign season more interesting!

Random tangent: Why doesn't The Associated Press come right out and explicitly express their support for the Democratic Party? It would make reading their "news" stories, like this one, much more bearable. Commenting on the selection of Palin, the AP writer says:

At 44, Palin is a generation younger that Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, who is Barack Obama's running mate on the Democratic ticket. She is three years Obama's junior, as well — and McCain has made much in recent weeks of Obama's relative lack of experience in foreign policy and defense matters.

The obvious implication being that McCain is being hypocritical, or contradicting himself somehow.
