'I want to invite readers to remember Jane Swift'
Morra asks us to remember Jane Swift following John McCain's surprise selection of Alaska's Sarah Palin as his running mate. I thought of Jane too. But not for the reasons cited by Morra. ... OK, I'll give Sarah a chance. Who know? Harry Truman also was a surprise nobody when tapped by FDR. But then there's surprise-nobody Dan Quayle. ... The timing of McCain's announcement was brilliant. Completely knocked Obama's speech to the sidelines. Palin also looked quite sharp on the podium. Excellent day for McCain even if his pick turns out to be a long-term loser. ... P.S. - It's fun hearing all the 'experience' arguments over the past few hours. Total partisan flip-flops on both sides. ...
