Peterike: Combine that with a female VP, and you’d have feminists with steam coming out of their ears as their internal circuits shorted (whatever would the gals at The View make of such a thing?).

No one wants a female VP more than me. But Hillary ain’t going to be it, because the GOP base would revolt. I think Sarah Palin is great, I was kicking her name around the Elephant Bar for a while, but she only brings the Eskimo vote (joke. I mean she only brings Alaska, which is already solidly Dem). It’s only the far left nutroots and latte drinking middle-upper management types consider Fighting Joe Lieberman a traitor. The lunchbucket beer’n'pretzel Democrats who turn wrenches will see McCain reaching out to them with this pick. And maybe he can peel some of the Jewish voters away from B. Hussein Obama.
