Despite the fact that Sarah Palin was the best thing to happen to John McCain’s presidential campaign, the honest truth is that she was an identity politics pick.
Sorry, John. but you’re wrong. This is the person who killed the bridge to Nowhere. This is the person who, when stonewalled on ethics issues, quit her well-paying job so she could go public about the ethical problems she saw. She wasn’t an invigorating stump speaker because she’s female, she was an invigorating stump speaker because she didn’t swallow and then regurgitate all the typical “elite” BS.
McCain picked her because she was a “maverick” like him. Did the “she” help? Probably. But the “she” wasn’t dispositive. Her record was.
