Not sure why everyone was so surprised. Sherlock homes might say, its elementary my dear Watson... I am surprised, why others had not seen it coming. I was sure either the choice would be African American or Woman all along.
Same reason why Obama has chosen Biden. he has chosen someone who had quality he was criticized for. He must had to find some one with experience, just to show experience on ticket. And today, McCain has chosen a women who is not Washington celebrity, what Obama campaign is criticizing about McCain and he is long time in Washington, who not only could show breath of fresh air in Washington on ticket but also can help pull Hillary support women's Votes. If you think it’s the kind of master stroke from McCain. which proves he is better ready for the Job.
Today I have overheard Democrats criticizing McCain's choice, as she has no experience - ROFL Don't you find it funny. Actually she got more experience than your Presidential candidate, the community organizer, absentee Senator, Obama. In US there is no roll for VP post until President dies or something. so Biden's experience is only useful in event of death of Obama. And Governor Palin's inexperience is only harmful in even of death of McCain. and that is as likely as unlikely Obama's. and in worst case we are still better off with Governor Palin than Sen. Obama experience wise.
Palin, was elected governor in 2006 after defeating incumbent governor Frank Murkowski in the Republican primary and former Democratic governor Tony Knowles in the general election. She was the youngest person, and the first woman, to be elected governor of Alaska. Before becoming governor, Palin served two terms on the Wasilla, Alaska, City Council from 1992 to 1996, and was elected and re-elected mayor of Wasilla for two three-year terms in 1996 and 1999. She also ran unsuccessfully for lieutenant governor of Alaska in 2002. So in my mind she got Executive experience for at least 12 years, 2 years as Governor and 10 as city Mayor. What is Obama's Experience?
