IMO It’s very likely the McCain campaign is going to be against Obama and the issues after his spending spree speech and put the inexperience line on the backburner.

The beauty of this is, the one weakness Palin has, inexperience, Obama also carries so he can’t attack her for that.

Palin would appeal to women and also be a wonderful VP debate play vs angry Joe Biden.

Exactly. And they can't attack the pick as a token 'woman' because it completely opens them up to picking Obama because he's black.

The Palin choice puts the dems in checkmate.

Think about it: McCain's people have been playing up to Hillary supporters in a big way...asking why Obama didn't choose her as VP, making overtures to Democrat women, etc.

If she is chosen they will have played it perfectly.

You do set the table quite nicely there. Someone else also mentioned it makes Joe look bad if he attacks a woman (i.e. Hillary factor early on atleast). Although if she is an Alaska woman, like this Montana woman, don't matter much what he throws at her, she'll be tossing it back in spades :-). She is nice looking too, but has a look that appeals to regular women.

It would be fun to watch them all mix it up in the coming days. I have a few different people I would like to see in the VP slot and she is one of them.
