McCain needed to hold onto his moderates, but also get the conservatives on board. He has done that. With Palin, he has a chance to attract repos with some libertarian tendencies as well.

The far left fringe that runs the Democratic Party is spinning its wheels, overheating, trying to figure out how to approach this improbably team.

I prefer Mitt Romney. But McCain may be deeper than he seems. And I would not mind a few Polar Bear rugs in the Vice Presidential mansion.
