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.

And she's anti-abortion. I guess he's not pandering to the middle?

Alaska politics reminded me of my hot roommate from DC from 10 years ago, so I looked him up, he is an elected official now, and SO NOT HOT. Holy crap. But it looks like he's doing well, so that's nice.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He'll be viewed as progressive for choosing a woman.

Exactly. He appeases the wingnuts and the PUMAs. Ugh.

The vice-presentidential debate will be fun. She's a first term Governor from a corrupt state and Biden has oodles of experience.
