Sarah Palin is Big Mac's Veep pick

Any academic arguments regarding Gov. Sarah Palin's (R-AK) miss the essential genius of this pick. She is a very "real" person, unlike the phony that Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) seems to be. Americans love real people -- as opposed to Ivy educated career politicians. As long as she doesn’t act like a lightweight, the electorate would see her as one.

Besides that, the base is jazzed like I haven't seen since Reagan '84. My suspicion is that this is going to be a McCain-Palin avalanche.

More tomorrow.
