  This Palin pick is going to be the biggest political joke since Dan Quayle!  She worked for Alaska's SECESSION from the US!!  She preaches 'no-sex-education, abstinence-only', and HER OWN TEENAGE DAUGHTER winds up pregnant!

Choices That Are Made
Matthew Yglesias — ... listening to the commentary about why this is a smart pick for John McCain that the arguments are all about how this will help him politically — attract women voters, get attention, disrupt Barack Obama’s “change” message, etc. What I haven’t seen is any conservatives making arguments about why Sarah Palin will help President McCain govern. He’ll call on her insights about . . . what? UPDATE: For example, Ross Douthat: ‘m pretty excited, I have to say. This could, of course, ...
