VP Choice Sarah Palin
August 29, 2008 | Knoxville, Tennessee | Vetting explained
In the perfect counter to the Obama/Biden ticket, Senator McCain's choice of Republican Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska is a choice that will take the focus away from Obama's grand acceptance speech. It also shows that Obama is not the only candidate willing and able to make "change."
I think the choice is definitely a strategic one meant to go after the younger vote and reel in many members of Senator Hillary Clinton's female support base to have them give Senator McCain a second look in a fresh new light.
