The short lists I saw for McCain's VP never included Sarah Palin and his choice has all the earmarks of a gimmick. Considering that she has virtually no experience in government, having been a city councilperson and a mayor prior to winning the Governorship of Alaska it will be tough to talk about experience from the GOP with this selection.
She is a woman, and that is the gimmick the GOP is counting on. If they are hoping to lure Hillary voters by putting an inexperienced beauty queen on the ticket, they might get a few who have no idea who they vote for anyway, but for a savvy thinking woman Sarah Palin is a ridiculous choice.
If this proves to be the actual VP selection for McCain, I hope people see through this disingenuous of this choice. He is obviously betting on his view that women cannot see beyond the issue of gender. Appearing next to one another, McCain looks like her grandfather, and in a debate with Joe Biden I think she will have no luck at all.
