I suppose Palin is going to remain McCains choice unless something happens at the RNC convention this week.  It seems inconceviable that the party would go along with this choice of running mates.  More than likely, McCain shot himself in the foot with this one and I'm sure in November there will be a lot of election time blues.

Personally, I'll be glad when the convention is over and both Obama and McCain can get back to the issues although throwing Palin into the mix is probably going to cause more vicarious ads from the DNC.   Hopefully (at least for this Democrat) Obama will stick to the more important issues, both in his ads, speechs and possible debates with McCain.

If McCain made such a choice because he was thinking of Hillary's women voters then it was a poor choice in that area because Palin has little in common with these women, especially when it comes to Roe vs Wade and Feminisn (which her claim of being a Feminist is belied by her stance on many women's issures other than Roe vs Wade).

Hey porch...As a moderate I often catch a lot of hell from friends and family, more than I care for really! One thing that bemused the dickens out of me was how folks on the right were talking about her as being a presidential quality nominee when they had not even known her name for more than 48 hours. The left was ridiculing Palins positions, as you noted above, and were dismissing her without a fair hearing out. I supposed if McCain were to drop Palin today he would find a more suitable, and believable, nominee in 'Tina Fay'! Now, that ticket would leave moderate ol' me in the perfect position, squarely in the middle of them, free from hassle!
