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
- He's desperate.
- He's willing to gamble
- He's worried about the political implications of his age
- He's not worried about the actuarial implications of his age.
- He's worried about his conservative base.
- 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
