Rumor is that McCain just picked Alaska's female governor for his running mate. Clever.

I know nothing about her in particular, but the Alaska repubs have to be the most corrupt political organization going since the Grant administration, which could get interesting.

A woman for the PUMAs and a sop to the Conservatives who have been threatening McCain for not being anti-abortion enough. It's a clever choice.
