McCain's Choice of Palin - The Right Move?

Robert Bidinotto has posted some comments on McCain's choice of running mate which I think are worth checking out. In response I posted this comment.

Robert,

I heartily agree with your assessment of Palin's demeanor and message. My ongoing apathy mixed with antipathy for the candidates on both sides prepared me to expect the worst and to be unimpressed with McCain's choice. I think this is a clever choice on a number of fronts. It does hamper McCain's early knocks on Obama's lack of experience but I don't think it's a knock out blow. As you said, Palin has the most experience actually running a government than any of the other candidates. I hope this strategy works!
