McCain has officially picked his running mate, and it is Alaska's Governor Sarah Palin.
She is a stunningly beautiful 44 year old white woman. Very conservative, but not a neo-con. She hunts, fishes, eats moose-burgers, rides snowmobiles, and is even a lifetime member of the National Rifle Association. Her politics are very similar to Congressman Ron Paul's, in fact it was speculated by Ron Paul's supporters that if Ron Paul had won the nomination, he should pick her.
She's my kind of woman!
McCain picking Palin seals the deal for me, he will be who I vote for, despite the fact I really dislike McCain and consider him more of a liberal than anything. Remember, he's very old and not in the best health, chances are he might kick the bucket from old age while in office, which would allow Sarah to become president. I would love her to be president.
She is Alaska's governor, and let us not forget Alaska was the state Ron Paul did the best in, during the primaries. Alaskans are generally very friendly, true conservatives. Ron Paul did well in Alaska, lot's of Alaskans voted for him - the same ones that voted Palin into office. So you can be sure that Palin is a good choice, if you're a fan of Ron Paul like I am.
Like Ron Paul, she is also anti-Israel, or at least doesn't believe we should be sending Israel billions of dollars and supporting them in the middle east. This is also a plus in my book. A little bit of trivia, the moment she took office as Governor of Alaska, she sold an Israeli-made personal jet on Ebay, that the last Governor of Alaska wasted money on and bought with taxpayer money. She then used the money (about $2mil) from the sale of the Jet, to help Alaska.
McCain/Palin has my vote over Obama/Biden any day of the week. They should have your vote too, unless you are voting third party, or are a liberal idiot.
But the real question is, will she be enough to help McCain win? She certainly might pull some votes from ex-Hillary supporters that were on the fence and couldn't decide who to vote for. But will her just being a woman, be enough for them to vote Republican? Sarah might be a woman like Hillary, but she's also a conservative, small-government, fiscally conservative gun-loving woman - completely opposite of what Hillary Clinton was.
I must say, I'm perplexed by this choice though. Why would McCain pick Palin? If he was doing it to gain a lead over Obama by choosing a woman and grabbing the female vote, wouldn't it have been a better choice for him to pick someone like Condoleeza Rice, who is both a woman and black? That would surely strengthen McCain's lead much more, because he would grab both the female vote from ex-Hillary supports, and also the vote from some Obama supporters. Maybe Condi just wasn't interested in being VP, or maybe McCain thought she had too much of a connection to George Bush. Who knows.
Regardless, I love Sarah Palin, and think she's an awesome candidate - enough to pinch my nose and vote for the RINO McCain.

yeah! its much better,
McCain has chosen someone who is a stark contrast from Obama/Biden. This is great because it gives people a clear choice between a conservative or liberal ticket. McCain may not be the most conservative in some of his views, but at least he now has a platform that is leaning further right now. What we didn't want to see was a battle between democrat and democrat-light.
And questioning Palin's experience is off the table because that would just bring Obama's experience into question as well. They both have two years in their respective positions and from where I stand, being a governor is a much tougher job than senator. As governor you actually have to make decisions and you cannot hide (as easily) amongst the crowd.
