Romney - too many houses. Huckabee - mutual hatred. Jeb Bush - more Bush. Condi - yet more Bush. Pawlenty - an unusually 'interesting' business history.
So picking an unknown isn't totally insane, even if political heads are exploding everywhere. Palin will bring in the evangelicals - what's left of them - and probably also swing a state or two.
The choice has also made everyone forget yesterday's triumph of Obama awesomeness.
What's keeping me entertained is how the wingers are being outraged and stunned when the self-styled maverick does something genuinely mavericky.
We'll see. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
Also, there's another, different (at least I think it's different) firing story involving one of her longtime friends, then an employee in the governor's office, who was dating the -- let me see if I can type it right -- ex-wife of Todd Palin's friend.
I'll be curious to see if there's any merit to it, although I'm skeptical due to the source. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
