McCain's apparent pick for VP is *drumroll*

Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. The link has all her pertinent information.

My thoughts are that she's very young (only around 7 years older than me), pro-life, apparently does not have ties to big oil, and apparently there is a lack of things to attack her over (other than normal social con stances).  Meaning that she's basically an anti-McCain Republican. If indeed it's her then it's a good pick for him IMO. I think the worst thing he could have done was add another old white dude to the ticket no matter what that person's political stances were.

True.  Unless he picked me, of course.  I could use the money.
