The selection of a running mate is among the most consequential, most defining decisions a presidential nominee can make. John McCain's pick of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin says a lot about his decison-making - and some of it is downright breathtaking.

Whatever you think of the Sara Palin as his Vice Presidential pick, here are six things it tells us about McCain

  1. He's desperate.
  2. He's willing to gamble 
  3. He's worried about the political implications of his age
  4. He's not worried about the actuarial implications of his age.
  5. He's worried about his conservative base.
  6. At the end of the day, McCain is still McCain. People may find him a refreshing maverick, or an erratic egotist. In either event, he marches to his own beat.

Bottom line, is he is worried , the popular polls are close.

However, just like the article claims , "McCain could easily lose in an electoral landslide. The truth is McCain is essentially tied or trailing in every swing state that matters - and too close for comfort in several states like Indiana and Montana"

I am from AZ , so a McCain Suppoter , however, I am not sure this is the right move

I think you will find that it is a brilliant mover.  It effectively takes away a lot of the undecided voters both in the middle and on the right and moves them into McCain's camp.

It not only moves them in, it makes them McCain evangelists.
