McCain's VP choice is historic and hardly known

WOW. Talk about a jaw-dropper indeed! McCain, known for being a maverick has made quite a maverick decision in his choice of a Vice Presidential running mate!

Some very interesting points from the article:

Palin, who led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes chapter at her high school, could help McCain's standing with social conservatives who have been skeptical of him.

"It's an absolutely brilliant choice," said Mathew Staver, dean of Liberty University School of Law and founder of the legal group Liberty Counsel, who has sought to coalesce evangelicals around McCain. "This will absolutely energize McCain's campaign and energize conservatives."

Palin is "a woman of faith who has a strong position on life, a consistent opinion on judges," Staver said. "She's the complete package."

But Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York said McCain was taking a "roll of the dice" and declared that Palin's "lack of experience makes the thought of her assuming the presidency troubling."

Uh...Senator Schumer? Don't EVEN go there. You have nothing to say to that when your own candidate has an extremely limited background of his own. The lack of experience of one Barack Obama is limited to less than 200 days as a senator. So don't play that card.

If I can be so chauvenistic, she is nice looking, always a plus. :)
