29 August 2008Multiple Reports: Palin is VP Nominee
well, you can’t fault the mccain campaign for the treatment of playing it safe. i mark this is a potentially good pick for him, although a assignment of that is because so numerous of the alternatives (like tim pawlenty) would have been so obviously awful.
obviously, there are also a myriad of risks. in an discussion with kay bailey hutchinson on cnn favourably now, hutchinson didn’t seem quite tried how to pronounce palin’s name (pay-lin or pah-lin?), let deserted recite any relevant facts regarding her.i don’t think palin will have a a barrel of appeal to hillary clinton voters, as palin runs squarely into some gender politics taboos, i.e. the younger, more attractive, but less qualified woman replacing the older one.but the media whim love her, and both conservatives and independents desire as though her. more thoughts later once i come them.updated: essentially, this is a branding gamble: it both puts a fresher, younger intimidate on a tired, old social gathering, and reinforces mccain’s figure of speech in return boldness and mavericktude.but as one of my commenters notes, “it may be the biggest gamble in political history”. a significant gaffe on an issue like foreign policy — whether in the vp debate or in some other background — could render the election essentially unwinnable for mccain. and don’t expect the democrats to refrain from flourishing after her inexperience. the way “heartbeat away from the presidency” appears to be in the habitual democratic talking points this morning.
