So it's official - John McCain has thrown a Hail Mary and tapped Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. The trad med types are ga-ga about what a game-changing choice Palin is. And they're right. It is a game-changer. The Palin pick takes a race already leaning toward Obama and pushes it further into his corner.
Why? Because Sarah Palin is the most unqualified VP nominee in modern history, with the possible exception of Admiral Stockdale.
She's worse than Quayle.
I'll bet this guy is so scared, tonight he'll drive his Subaru Forrester into a lamppost.
If Sarah is a “hail mary pass,” then call Senator McCain Roger Staubach. Football fans will know what I’m talking about.

It is going to be sooooooo much fun to see Gender Politics used AGAINST the RATs for a change.
Male street hustler from Chicago = greatest politician of our time.
Female Governor from Alaska = completely unqualified

ROTFLMAO!
On a more serious note, I think this pick helps McCain and improves his chances - but he may still lose.
We have a lot of work to do.
However, it's interesting how inevitable hardcore Democrats believe Obama's supposedly impending victory to be.
I think the insanity we saw from Democrats after Gore's loss and Kerry's loss will be eclipsed in the event of an Obama loss.
There will be demonstrations that turn violent.
There may be actual riots.
There will be numerous new conspiracy theories and new lawsuits in battleground states.
And the Clintons will resume control of the Democrat party.
That is an insult to SUBARU drivers who are conservatives!! (Yes, wife has one when she need to go to the big city (Portland, Maine).
Subaru are good cars. They are thinking about making a PickUp.
