Palin May Be McCain's Best Bet For VP

From AmericanSpec Blog:
As a pro-lifer, NRA member, and fiscal conservative, she'd be acceptable to the right, and her record on ethics reform and maverick image makes her a nice fit for McCain. She's charming, likeable, and telegenic, commands stratospheric approval ratings, and could help McCain among independents. Palin, 44, could also provide a welcome contrast to McCain's sometimes grumpy demeanor. One of the biggest problems that McCain is going to face in the election is an excitement gap, and I don't see how picking a boring white male to join the ticket is going to help him on that front, but an attractive woman from Alaska who eats moose burgers and rides snowmobiles, just might. There are clearly a lot of female voters who believe it's time to see a woman in the White House, and if McCain is really serious about targeting disaffected Hillary voters, Palin would be a strong asset.
