Does anyone else find it odd that Hillary supporters, who supposedly were ready to boycott Obama if he dared put any woman other than Hillary on the ticket with him, now are supposed to flock to McCain because he put a woman other than Hillary on the ticket with him?

Assuming there's a certain percentage of complete nimrods in every population, it would only take a portion of them to swing this very close election. As long as she doesn't carry with her anything that would detract from McCain's campaign, a small benefit can make for a huge win.

Just saw and interesting factoid and it hadn't occurred to me. This morning, John McCain brought to an end a very long streak in Republican presidential politics:

2004 - George W Bush/Dick Cheney
2000 - George W Bush/Dick Cheney
1996 - Bob Dole/Jack Kemp
1992 - George HW Bush/Dan Quayle
1988 - George HW Bush/Dan Quayle
1984 - Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1980 - Ronald Reagan/George HW Bush
1976 - Gerald Ford/Bob Dole

Thus ends the streak of 8 straight Republican tickets with a Bush or a Dole on them.

Another thing I just noticed. Palin's second child is a 17-year-old named Bristol (female).

Keith Olbermann tonight noted that at one time Palin aspired to be a ESPN sportscaster.

ESPN is headquartered in Bristol, Connecticut. Maybe a connection? Has that been commented on at all today?

What does she really bring to the table in terms of "something McCain doesn't have"?

Regarding "family values", whatever that means - she returned to work three days after giving birth to her Trig (the one with down syndrome) saying "My baby will not be at all or in any sense neglected." I run a bit conservative on those lines, and I'm sure there are plenty of McCain supporters who would be troubled by the working mom mystique.

Likewise. Not that I would vote McCain anyways, but it so happens that pretty much every first world country besides US offers paid maternity leave. Doesn't sound like she'd be pushing women's rights in that direction. Her 3 day return says to me that she doesn't value family all that much.

Obama now has a campaign taunt available to him that probably hasn't been heard since the days of James Buchanan:

"First I'm going to beat you. Then I'm going to f*ck your vice president."
