VPILF?!
Anyhoo, I think it's pathetic and desparate. Looks like they bought the whole disillusioned Clinton supporters crossing over hook, line and sinker and are trying to capitilise on it. This is tokenism pure and simple, if McCain was serious about running with a woman he should've picked a seasoned politician like Senator Kay Bailey-Hutchison of Texas. Palin was just governor of Alaska for what, like 18 months? And before that, mayor of a town that had a population of around 5000. I don't know, maybe she'll really shine during the convention or the debates (though I doubt it, Biden will wipe her clean), I just think that there was no real reason to pick her other than to attract Clinton's supporters. All I know is had she been a man I doubt they would even let her into the RNC, let alone offer her the VP spot.
Anyway, I guess now whoever wins it'll be at the very least historic for the US.
