Why Palin Works

[Beefalow and the Consumer]

The pick of Palin robs the McCain campaign of much of its foreign and domestic policy gravitas.  I don't think the Hillaristas will be swayed by a running-mate who is a pro-life beauty queen, Palin has zero foreign policy experience, zero domestic policy experience outside of Alaska - a quirky state with peculiar issues - and will be seen by moderates as a stunt.

Palin = Female, hot Huckabee.

All that said, McCain could have made a much worse choice.  Like Huckabee.  Or Romney.

Wonder what Olbermann will say.

As brutally negative as he'd have been about any Republican pick.  He's so terribly predictable that it's not even worth caring about.

He's a better-looking, liberal O'Reilly.
