(The views here are of the Monkey. What are yours? I can tell you Palin's. She says she is as "pro-life as any candidate can be." - promoted by Aaron Silverstein)
Oh, McCain SOOO wants to steal the spotlight. So we have a running mate. She's female! And young!
That's about where the political positives end, as far as I can tell.
She has 2 years of experience as governor, and we want her "a heartbeat away" from President? Compared to "unready to lead" Obama? Huh?
She has 5 kids, including a newborn w/ Downs. This isn't a negative at all, but does she want this job with so much going on in her family life?
She has an unresolved scandal going on, regarding firing her ex-brother-in-law for personal reasons (allegedly). Is this what "we're different!" McCain wants to prove to people that he's not like Bush's patronage-for-buddies machine?
There's the geography...Alaska? Really? Is that where McCain hopes to swing voters, for that ripe electoral college pool?
Finally this quote is golden, if sad:
As for the prospect of her being vice president, Palin told Kudlow that she could not answer the question of whether she wanted the job "until somebody answers for me what is it exactly that the VP does every day."
