McCain/Palin ‘08. The Dude Abides.
Politico: McCain Taps Palin (Uh….I don’t think he did that Politico, who is your source???)
**McCain Camp’s Take:
“A maverick with a record of reform picks a maverick with a record of reform. John McCain is putting Washington on notice that there is a shakeup coming,” a McCain spokesman says.
***Obama Camp belittles Palin:
“After his attacks on Obama’s readiness for the job, it’ll be amusing to hear a 71-year-old with a history of health problems justify this decision.”

**Update**
I dunno man…this seems pretty desperate on McCain’s part. Sure, he may win over some Hillary voters…but does he honestly hope to have someone with essentially no foreign policy experience or exposure to international politics debate BIDEN about those things?
Not to mention the ethics investigation against her, her REAL lack of experience (mayor of a small town and “hockey mom”…not that that’s a bad thing. YOu know what they say: my hockey mom can beat up your soccer mom”)
I’m not sure…I mean I know that McCain didn’t really have any solid choices, but he should have at least picked someone who could keep up with Biden in debates.
I know some of his views are a bit wacky, but I think Huckabee would have been a good choice. He is EXTREMELY intelligent, funny, and generally good natured. Not to mention he can defend his positions with actual facts rather than opinions.
