It seems John McCain has stuck to type and taken a risk in his choice of running mate. Instead of a safe picking some middle aged white dude like Romney, he has tapped Alaska governor Sarah Palin.
Having a female running mate will help feed the doubts of any feminists unsure of supporting the man who beat the best chance yet of a woman president (helped even more by Palin's gracious comments about Clinton) and her impeccable conservative credentials will help pacify the base.
Her enthusiasm for challenging the ethically challenged in the Alaska republican party show that she is no pushover and will no doubt hold her own against Biden.
There will no doubt be many more twists and turns over the next two months, but in this McCain done good.

She looks like a secretary! (no sexism intended!).
My favourite sexist comment was that she looks like a naughty librarian. Setting aside the sexism however it is worth noting that for all the democrats attacks n her she has more experience of running things than Obama.
