Amazing because the crux, focus and conclusion of the entire discussion on McCain's best and most interesting VP pick in terms of specific favorable attributes, qualifications, needed excitement and "winnability" pointed to none other than Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as being the perfect selection -- YET THEY NEVER ONCE MENTIONED HER!<BR/><BR/>Am I missing something here? They mentioned virtually everyone BUT Sarah Palin. They mentioned all the female contenders BUT Sarah Palin; they mentioned all the youthful contenders BUT Sarah Palin (even lesser probabilities in both categories).<BR/><BR/>Am I missing something here?

There's currently a growing chorus for Obama/Hillary (as VP) ticket (in fact the Dems are likely aware of the Palin phenomenon). If the GOP waits while movement for Hillary as VP grows -- even worse until after it is solidified that Hillary will/could be VP pick -- selecting Palin will be portrayed by Dems/liberal media more as a reaction by GOP selecting its own female (overshawdoing Palin's own remarkable assets), rather than McCain taking the lead on this. Selecting Palin now or early (contrary to the punditocracy) will mean McCain will be seen as driving the course of this campaign overwhelmingly, and the DEMS will be seen as merely reacting. And, there's absoultely no down-side to this because even if Hillary is a no-go as VP for Obama, the GOP gains by acting early. McCain the maverick. Palin the maverick. Do it now! <BR/><BR/>There's no reason, and actually substantial negative, in McCain waiting to see what the Dems do first insofar as his picking Palin as VP, because, no matter who Obama picks, Palin is by far (and I mean far) the best pick for McCain and the GOP, especially in this time of GOP woes. The GOP can be seen as the party of real 'change' (albeit I hate that mantra, change, change, bla bla), while not really having to change from GOP core conservative values, which Palin more than represents.<BR/><BR/>In light of the current oil/energy situation, as well as the disaffected female Hillary voters situation, and growing focus on McCain's age and health, Palin is more than perfect -- now.<BR/><BR/>(Perhaps Team McCain is already on to this.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501087259711732195.post-88628920595445051222008-05-21T12:58:00.000-07:002008-05-21T12:58:00.000-07:00Dear Ted: Thanks so much for your comments, which...Dear Ted: Thanks so much for your comments, which are always welcome. Sarah is an oustanding human being, and she has had experience with very tough campaigns. She's very unusual in that she has strong appeal plus to evangelicals and to women professionals. She has some of the same "bulldog" qualities that Democratic women admire in Mrs. Clinton. <BR/><BR/>My http://hillarysupportersformccain.blogspot.com has become a lot more significant than I imagined it would be.<BR/><BR/>steve maloney<BR/>ambridge, paStephen R.
