So the presidential nominee of one major party is from Hawaii, and the vice presidential nominee of the other major party is from Alaska. Noncontinental U.S. states represent!

She comes out of nowhere, she’s younger than Obama, and she’s been a state governor for less than two years. And she’d be a heartbeat away from a 72-year-old man’s presidency.

This pretty much undermines one of McCain’s key arguments against Obama.

She seems vastly underqualified to be president.

Is she going to be the Harriet Miers of the VP process?

4 drops of oil

  1. John McCain needed to shake up his campaign and inject some interest and excitement into the race that America understands needs to be about a new direction for the country. Another all stale white male ticket is not where the nation is headed, and McCain understood that. While the entire Republican ticket is still wrong on the issues that confront the nation, there is at least now something fresh and new for the media to report on about the McCain candidacy.

  2. Picking a woman is also a way to appeal to those idiotic “PUMAs.”

  3. After the initial press buzz, this is going to be a nightmare for McCain.

  4. You were the first (that I saw) to make the Harriet Miers analogy, and I think it’s brilliant. Thanks for that.
