McCain completely jumped the shark with this VP pick... it's laughable that this is who he thinks should be second in command. Someone with virtually no experience on world affairs. "Putting the country last" should be his new campaign slogan.
Plenty of republicans are waying in on McBush's superficial pick of a Vice President.

What a shitty reference to some misquoted articles. You can't even come up with your own quote and have to leech "jump the shark" & "country last" from the article.
Follow the links and see for yourself, here's what Noah Millman said after having the quote taken out of context
She’s an excellent choice. If McCain wins, he’ll have a whole cabinet of officials to help him run the government and advise him on vital decisions. That’s not what he’ll be using Palin for. And as a political matter, if the Democrats lead with the inexperience argument against Palin, they’ll be committing suicide.
I personally don't know enough about her to make a judgment one way or the other. Honestly, I am much more excited than I was when I was looking at the prospect of Mitt Romney or Huckabee as VP. One thing I'm sure of, this campaign is one of diversity.
On one hand we had a woman and minority running for the democratic spot. The minority won and turned to an old white man for VP.
On the other hand we have McCain turning to a milf from Alaska for his VP.
If the choice turns out well, and it seems to be at this point, the country will have will have another young & idealistic politician in office (think about JFK's popularity here).
Personally, if I were McCain, I would have picked Condi Rice but not because of her skin color ... she's pretty young too and has more experience (at a high level) than Palin. Although Sarah's experience is running a state, which in my opinion is a pre-requisite for a presidential candidate. Obama has no experience running anything, how people can bring up experience is flabbergasting as Obama is running for President (not VP)
Regardless of whether we are Dem or Rep ... they're all just politicians. If I can't have Ron Paul, I'll probably pencil in Jon & Eli for office. I'll hold off on that for a bit to see how well Sarah holds her own but I certainly can't vote to raise taxes (any democrat).
That she's pro life, pro guns, pro drilling & an ex-pothead is enough for me to get sort of excited about McCain's choice.
