This was the game winning goal by McCAin's strategists.
I know some hard core liberals that are livid at this choice. Mark my words, McCain will lead in the next poll.
The Obama camp will likely bash her lack of experience, which will only bring attention back to his equally, if not less experienced, record. And he's running for the #1 spot, not the #2 spot.
Obviously, this pulls in all of the Hilary supporters who were never crazy about Obama. Specifically the women voters who were pulling for her for no reason other than her gender.
Many true conservatives were less than thrilled about McCain's many centrist views. Cue the militant pro-life NRA member.
The #1 jab at McCain has been his age. Many Obama supporters have been hanging her hat on his youth. Cue someone actually YOUNGER than Obama. And Biden is no spring chicken.
This pick pretty much patched up each and every chink in McCain's armor with one fell swoop.
