McCain picks Palin

No, not Michael, although surely that would have been a sure-fire winner. Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska.

Thorts, o my flisters? Has this swung it for McCain? I have to say when I read the story, I thought, "You crafty bastards."

(Ladbrokes were offering 100:1 on this last night. Bugger.)

Ha, I thought picking a woman would be a smart way to outflank the Democrats. But no one seemed to expect him to do it.

On the bright side, maybe there will be Republicans as annoyed by the choice of a woman as some Democrats by the choice of a not-woman, and they will cancel each other out? And if he's trying to sell himself as Experienced Guy, is Not So Experienced Gal the obvious back-up for a 72-year-old?
