This is a great choice. I was a reluctant McCain voter — unless he picked Lieberman. But, my enthusiasm for McCain just went way up.
She’s smart, conservative, pro-life, female, and has more executive experience than Biden and Obama combined. She’s the only outside-the-beltway candidate, and the only candidate with executive experience. This should calm conservatives that were concerned about McCain, and will pick off a few pissed off Hillary supporters.
Democrats can’t attack her youth or inexperience, because Obama’s not much older, and has even less experience than her (and he’s running for the HIGHEST office). And, it mutes the “historic” effect of Obama’s candidacy.
This is a gutsy pick, and stands in stark contrast to Joe Biden.
Sen. McCain — this conservative is satisfied. You have my support.

Excellent. I think whichever party is most united, or least disunited in November will win. I was a lukewarm McCain supporter, but from what I've read about Palin so far(pro life, lifetime NRA, and the ethics reforms she has pushed in AK), I think she is a smart choice. And picking a young woman could be a stroke of political genius.
And, he changed the news focus immediately after Obama's Plywood Temple was disassembled.
I like this pick. It is a great answer to those who are saying if Obama - Biden loose than America is racist. Now we can say if McCain - Palin loses, America is sexist. This is going to be fun.
I think McCain - Palin will pick up quite a few ticked off Hillary voters also.

DITTOS ON ALL YOU SAY.
Picking a solid conservative that also will interest indies and Hillary supporters is a brilliant move.
