Sarah Palin

Extraordinary choice. She has only had two years in office as Governor of Alaska (which has an electorate smaller than a Euro seat here - say 500,000 of which about half voted), definitely on the right of the party - life membership of the NRA and anti-abortion.

I think she will be an election asset for most - but how she will go down in Redneck country ...?

Remember this: McClain is 72 - and we don't know how badly his health was damaged by his stay in the Hanoi Hilton.

BTW her husband apparently works for BP at times ...


Update

Thought has struck me that being pro-life and pro-gun is an odd combination....and I really really don't want a person who has upported creationist teachings anywhere near the White House. I would think that the US scientific community has just let out a collective groan.
