is John McCain having his Harriet Meirs moment early...?

[mike_c]

Harriet Meirs, Bush's one-time Supreme Court nominee:

1) was gratuitously female, i.e. her gender was a likely political factor in her selection, and perhaps an over-weighted factor;

2) was zealously committed to his policies and to the direction his administration was going;

3) would have been easily dominated once in office;

4) was massively under-qualified, a circumstance that probably bears heavily on #1;

5) caused a collective "Huh?" when she was nominated;

6) did not last long as the nominee.

Sounds hauntingly familiar. McCain's choice of Gov. Palin seems awfully similar. We'll have to see about #6.
