To be serious a moment, why the hell didn't McCain choose Rice instead?!?! She's black, she's a woman, she has experience dealing with world leaders, she is fundamentally conservative (in the "pull yourself up" way), and has a brain. While I don't agree with her philosophy, she would make the GOP ticket competitive. The worst you could say is she has no taste in rock (a KISS fan, yuck!). But to pass on Rice in favor of Palin is just plain stupid, and calls into question McCain's would be leadership.
