Although I'm an Obama supporter, I think this is a great pick by McCain. It shores up the neoconservative base, it appeals to those white women that who were Clinton supporters and were on the fence about McCain and Obama, and it shows that the republican party is willing to show some diversification and not just the party of white men. But she is very inexperienced, has young children (including a 3mos old downs kid), and is currently under investigation for attempting to fire someone without just cause (I believe it was her brother-in-law).
