So if McCain neutralizes his lone issue against Obama by picking Palin, what does he have left?

[TornadoTN]

Lets think about this seriously for a minute. If McCain picks Palin he cedes the "not ready to lead" talking point against Obama, which seems to be the only talking point that has any traction amongst undecideds. So where does that leave him? What can we expect to be the talking point?

My take: they will make (with the media's help) Palin into some kind of super-model-rockstar and paint her as the "Hillary alternative". They will attempt to make her the equivalent of Obama in terms of rockstar status. But I can't come to any rational or reasonable answer to what McCain will do next in terms of attacking Obama and how he will explain this pick in terms of experience.

Your take?

2. Clearly it will not be about issues. It will be the pow-card, the sexism-card,

and Obama the Black.

6. I'll hold out judgement about her..

until I learn a little more. What I've learned so far today is she's being investigated. Nothing earth shattering there.
