Republican presidential hopeful John McCain announced his choice for VP this morning. I was just as surprised as you were to learn he picked a woman. I was even more surprised to learn that Sarah Palin is against abortion and everything else we hold sacred.

But with her on the ticket, McCain will probably win the election in a landslide. Being a presidential VP doesn’t mean much — only that she’s next in line for the presidency if McCain should suddenly croak while in office.
