Republican presidential nominee John McCain's selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate has put in question his judgment and understanding of the importance of national leadership.
McCain's cynical ploy seems to have been an effort to win over disenchanted feminists who had supported Hillary Clinton's strong campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination but who have failed to embrace the nomination of Barack Obama to top the ticket.
Equally notable was McCain's desire to win over members of the evangelical right - so influential in the Republican Party - who have been unhappy with the choice of McCain as their standard bearer in the first place.
In addition to her lack of experience, Palin - governor of Alaska for two years - carries a lot of unexpected baggage: Bristol, her 17-year-old unmarried pregnant daughter, plus a gubernatorial ethics problem for ordering a public safety commissioner to sack her ex-brother-in-law who had been involved in a divorce battle with her sister.
