The choice of Palin is just plain bonkers.
But that's an outsiders opinion.
If - as seems to be the point, the aim is get Hillary voters across to back the ticket - because, you know, she has boobs - then the last 8 years have really screwed with sensibilities in the US.
Because you know the Washington elite aren't going to give her the time of day.
It does seem odd - after 8 years of GW and the intense power that was/is Cheney - to try to imagine McCain and Palin being in the White House.
That's what's really strange - after all the footstomping, chestbeating, red-meat gargling, strong on terrrism fanaticism we've seen from the GOP over the last 8 years - this old guy and as Stewart says "the Emmy award winning librarian from any Cinemax movie" - are the best they've got to take on the torch.
And they want the rest of the world, and their own population to believe in and follow these two.
Bonkers.
At least our female PM looks like she'd smash you, just as soon as talk to you.
