Well, it’s like this ... we cannot change the top of the ticket. But this pick shows that we can alter the trajectory. Think 2012. McCain is doing what GWB and Cheney should have done in 2004 or 2005. Take steps to ensure a quality candidate is in the wings. I love Dick Cheney and it is comforting to know he is there, but they left us in the lurch (npi) with a free-for-all primary. Palin will make a great 45th President if all indications are correct. And we’ll have plenty of time to know if that is true.

True. And I am amazed that McCain actually took into consideration what the base wanted (if this is why he chose her). It would mean there's hope for him to not act like a lib in office.
