McCain's surprisingly inspired VP pick

Sarah Palin for VP? Her political positions aside -- social conservatism, in particular -- I think that's an inspired choice. She's young(ish), attractive and has executive experience. And, oh yeah, she's a woman. Is that a big deal this year?

I really didn't think John McCain had it in him to throw a curve ball like this.

Of course, this means I'm not going to hear the end of it from my wife between now and November. She'll be practicing the phrase "President Palin" non-stop ...

Update: I was right. My wife said, "Now you have to vote for him!"

No. No, I don't.
