In The Last Two Hours I Have Received No Less Than 10 Phone Calls [View All]

My friends and family: some D's, some middle of the roaders, and a few R's. They are all saying the same thing:

Why the fuck did McCain pick her?

Forget the media buzz for a second because if McCain chose a petrock as a running mate, they'll pretend it's formidable.

For the life of me, I have no idea what they're thinking. For every argument I make in my head why someone would pick this unknown, I instantly think of a thousand reasons not to. Her inexperience will make it impossible to go after Obama's experience or lack thereof. Being a pro-lifer will destroy any chance of picking up any real Democratic women who are seeking a presidency based on gender (the PUMA types, if you will). Being a woman, she'll scare the typical Republican values base because women, especially one with 5 children, probably belong in the kitchen. Hell, listening to her on C-Span radio, I swear she's running for a chair on the PTA.

Honestly, I just don't get it.
