To me, the pick seems like a cheap political ploy of the worst kind. Let's be honest - she does not have the experience to be president, and that has to be a real concern in light of McCain's age and health issues. (BTW - did anyone else notice that huge growth puffing out of his cheek as he was introducing her...what was that?) This is a desperate move to attract independent women who voted for Clinton. If McCain really believes that women are so stupid that they vote only for the candidate's gender rather than the issues, then that is the real insult of the nomination.
