“Bright, shiny object. Me get woody. Other guys get woody too. Woodies = votes for me. Me pick her.”

yup. thats exactly how John McCain’s thought process went. sarc.

maybe if you actually knew anything about Palin or McCain, instead of just vomiting up Olbermann talking points, you’d know that she actually did have a record as a maverick as Alaska governor, and someone who took on the establishment. The fact that he could make history by choosing a woman (and, yeah, a pretty one at that), and needed to shake up the race, only made the decision make even more sense.
