Let's see if I can be wrong twice on this subject. I got the Democratic pick wrong, so might as well go out on a limb on the other choice. But it's starting to look like Sarah Palin may be McCain's pick. Chartered jets are rumored to have flown her to down to Arizona Wednesday and her family to Dayton yesterday. (Rather ironic given her story with the state's biz jet.) And her website as governor of Alaska has gone dark.
Perfect. It was inevitable we were going to get a Bible thumper of one sort or another to shore up Capt. Cranky's base. Palin fits the bill. She should appeal nicely to the PUMAs. Her husband works in the oil fields of Alaska, so we can expect lots of blather about drilling in ANWR. Stories of Trooper-gate should be entertaining, though. And at least we'll have to listen to Joe Lieberman less than if he were the pick. Should send Ted Stevens through the roof too, not a bad side-effect.
