John McCain has picked Alaska Senator Sarah Palin for his VP running mate. What does this mean for the GOP ticket? Message boards are already showing the polarization of opinions:
"This (decision) is an insult to women"
"Go Palin!! She has been an awesome governor and will be a great VP."
"Sarah Palin is not Hillary Clinton. "
"American politics hasn't seen integrity like Sarah Palin before..."
Will McCain's choice prove wise or will it backfire? I personally have mixed feelings. I can see how she may be a good choice based on her past signs of bold commitment to her beliefs, but her lack of long term experience will be pointed out by Obama's campaign. While this move probably won't capture all of the Hillary supporters, it is a strong move with the intention of creating buzz for McCain.
