This is a gift for Obama. This is Dan Quayle and Gerry Ferraro all over again.

My mother is a moderate, 58
year old Republican from Pennsylvania, voted Bush twice, now suspects
he's an idiot. She switched and voted for Obama in the primary because
she hates the Clintons and because I begged her mercilessly to do so.
I've feared all along that we might lose her in the general. No
longer! She just called me from her office, LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY -
"Did you see who McCain picked? Ha ha ha ha." I could hear her friends, as she just described them, "other former
Republicans," also laughing, all boomer women.
She thinks he's senile,
drunk, or both. I told her to show some respect, the woman was Miss
Alaska's first runner up in 1984. You think they were laughing
BEFORE. Ha! Kay Bailey Hutchinson would have been masterful, this is
just hilarious. Game on.
McCain's penchant for beauty queens is, um, subtle.
I like Palin personally, from what I've seen. Seems like a great
person, great new governor, wonderful mom, should absolutely be part of
tomorrow's GOP. But this struck me as a desperate and possibly
disastrous ploy for the McCain campaign, a self-evident gimmick, driven
by the demands of campaigning, not the duty of governing. So it
undercuts the deepest theme of McCain's campaign: service.
Compared with Biden, it's just not a serious pick. It may even become close to ridiculous.
