McCain chooses little-known Alaskan Governor as VP Candidate

Well, this blog (and quite a few others) was wrong in its hunches. John McCain has thrown a surprise into this year's election, choosing little-known Alaskan Governor Sarah Palin as his vice presidential candidate. Offhand, her only known credentials are that she is Republican and a woman--clearly something McCain was desiring in his efforts to reach out to the Hillary Clinton crowd. Palin has little experience, having served as governor for only two years and previously serving as mayor of a very small town in Alaska. It will be interesting to watch and see how this all plays out.

One issue will interest me in particular: How Palin's selection will effect Republicans' claim that Barack Obama is not experienced enough to be president.
