If It's Sarah Palin....
Posted by: Michael Medved at 9:35 AM
A few noteworthy observations if McCain does pick Alaska Governor Sarah Palin (the center of current speculation as of 6.30 AM, Friday morning....
 
1) Senator McCain will probably need to revise one of his favorite lines. You know how he loves to say "I didn't come to the Senate to get voted Miss Congeniality"? Well, Sarah P. was voted "Miss Congeniality" when she won the Miss Wasilla Beauty pageant --- on her way to becoming first runner up for Miss Alaska.
 
2) Her husband's status as a Native American will be a much-discussed, big plus -- Todd is a Yup'ik Eskimo.
 
3) Like McCain, Governor Palin is the mother of a young soldier serving in Iraq. The oldest of her five children, Track, enlisted in the Army at age 18 on September 11, 2007 -- the sixth anniversary of a day the Democrats try to forget. McCain refuses to talk about his two boys on active duty. Governor Palin (who also has a newborn Downs Syndrome baby at home, of course) is less reticent.
 
4) She likes to hunt moose and loves to eat mooseburgers -- a detail the press will repeatedly emphasize. She's also, more importantly, a life member of the NRA.
 
If she's the pick, the press frenzy will be huge ---- HUGE --- but McCain will largely lose the experience issue against Obama. By any standard, Governor Palin is less prepared as commander in chief than Obama.
