As I've thought about this and read about her, I 've come to the decision that she is a great choice for a few reasons.....
She solidifies the conservative base that has been wavering on McCain.
She is a pick that cannot be portrayed as just another white guy republican.
She has been a reformer in Alaska, where the government had been quite corrupt taking on the leadership within the republican party. Seems like she's tough.
She can appeal to those Hillary voters that (much to the chagrin of 3894) want to see a female on the ticket.
She is really a fiscal conservative, slashing unnecessary projects and cutting taxes in Alaska.
This is of course, without ever having seen or heard her outside a news clip or a sound bite.
To call her a Dan Quayle pick may be effective, but I am also of the opinion that calling Obama a Jimmy Carter pick can be effective.
