This is an interesting analysis of the Palin pick and what it says about McCain. I would add that eight years of running for the nomination of a party that doesn’t trust you makes candidates do things that they say they never would do.
The Palin pick, I think, rather than demonstrating his “maverick” credentials, should put to rest that singularly meaningless word. From now on, we should reserve maverick for references to the James Garner TV series or the 1970s automobile.
