Despite most initial reactions which could be summarized as a hair’s breadth from laughter at the bimbo from a state that does not count, McCain and his cohorts might be working Game Theory with a sinister twist. The following article from Financial Times is well worth reading http://tinyurl.com/5acxzh.
This line of thinking is further substantiated by the abundance of "worry" relating to why Palin in the Politico article http://tinyurl.com/68gwxw.
On a lighter note, this pick reminds me of I think Reagan times when one of the Secretary of State picks was supposed to be a handicapped Jewish women to appeal to a variety of special interests. If that were the case, Condi would have been a better pick - but then it would substantiate the claim of Bush III instead of McCain I. Don't know whether any of you read the latest Economist - Kucinich was censored from saying something tantamount to "Republicans were asking for 4 more years, in a just world they should be getting between 10 and 20!"

I don't buy the premise of this article at all. In fact the McCain apologists are decidedly on the back foot (such a lovely cricket term :), while the media is going to town on the daily revelations.
It's apparent that whatever the reasons for the pick, it was a rushed, poorly managed process, and McCain hardly knows the woman.
I'm sensing a real turning of the tide against McCain with this decision. Obama just broke 50% in polling today, and unless McCain next two days at the convention are fantastic, we may start to see an inexorable slide.
