McCain Picks Sarah Palin for VP

Good choice but bit of a hail Mary pass (or hail Sarah in this case) for McCain.

Quote from AAAintheBeltway:

Great choice. Expect total media blackout.

I dunno. She's another "maverick" according to the admittedly biased press. But the examples they cite (so far) show her to be a maverick in the good sense - exposing fraud and unethical bevhavior in her own party. If she really is a maverick (meaning in favor of "archaic" ideas like limited government, lower taxes, personal responsibility and property rights), she'd be an awesome choice. And boy will the MSM rip her apart. But they'd be very reluctant to put such a label as maverick on a true conservative. They'd prefer "Old School", "throwback" or "stick in the mud".

But we'll soon see. It'll be really easy to tell how conservative she is based solely on the MSM response.

Bullshit.

It's over, Hello President McCain.

Barrack who?

Ha ha. We'll see... I'm doubling down on Obama over at Intrade. I hope McCain does get a bounce from this and the RNC so I can buy Obama in the mid-50's. This pick helped me out immensely in my short Romney and Pawlenty picks. McCain is a bat shit crazy gambler. I love it!
