I'm an Obama supporter, but if I were a McCain strategist, I would tell him to pick his running mate quite soon (which is what you're suggesting).<BR/><BR/>Governor Palin would be the strongest "early" pick, as she is a "two-fer" of sorts--young and female. It would generate excitement in the G.O.P. (and excitement is what the G.O.P. needs badly). She is also a very capable chief executive, of course, and a rising star with conservatives, both of which are also electorally important....<BR/><BR/>If Senator McCain takes a "wait-and-see" approach and still selects Governor Palin a few months from now, he may (I emphasize "may") look as though he's trying to counterbalance a possible Obama running mate selection. (This may force him to select someone else to avoid looking crass and overly-calculating.)<BR/><BR/>If he waits and selects someone else, he may miss out on what she might bring to the ticket.<BR/><BR/>So if I were involved in his campaign, I (like you) would be urging him to select her as his running mate, and do so sometime in the next two weeks."<BR/><BR/>Friday, May 30, 2008Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730083868431882878.post-710559736437478812008-05-29T01:39:00.000-06:002008-05-29T01:39:00.000-06:00http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/05/29/alaska-g...http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/05/29/alaska-gov-sarah-palin-to-meet-with-mccain-vp-search-team.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4730083868431882878.post-50306826054359359902008-05-29T01:04:00.000-06:002008-05-29T01:04:00.000-06:00Check this out:--http://wizbangblog.com/content/20...Check this out:--<BR/><BR/>http://wizbangblog.com/content/2008/05/29/alaska-gov-sarah-palin-to-meet-with-mccain-vp-search-team.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
