Im guessing

This complete and utter circle jerk, the media is having over Palin, would of been the same for anyone that Old man McCain picked.

2. Naaah . . . if he'd picked someone already vetted . . .

Like Romney, Pawlenty, Snowe, Hutchinson, etc., we would still have been able to make hay (since each would have his/her particular 'Lican shortcomings), but there wouldn't have been this feeding frenzy over the Nutjob from the North.

4. No, I don't think so

Attention would have been paid of course even had the pick been a more conventional one, but Sarah Palin is getting the attention she is because she is incredibly unqualified and a loon as well. To think it would have been the same if he had picked say, Romney, ignores just how uniquely stupid this selection actually was.

5. ....sputter...(holding cheek tumor)

Well my friends, he's PRESIDENTIAL... she's HONORABLE... he's CONSERVATIVE... she's FUNDAMENTALIST... he's... A FAMILY MAN... she's... unqualified...
