Seventy-two year old John McCain chooses Alaska Gov. Palin to be heartbeat away from Presidency


In 1984, Palin won the Miss Wasilla beauty contest, then finished second in the Miss Alaska pageant, in which she won a college scholarship. In the Wasilla pageant, she played the flute and also won Miss Congeniality.

    But wait, I thought experience doesn't matter. (By the way, even if it does, Palin is the only person now in the race with actual executive experience).

    I also thought being an outsider was a good thing. How much more of an outsider can you get?

    You're right, Zach! If only we could elect Palin directly as president, without waiting for McCain to kick off first!

    I personally think it's a brilliant move on McCain's part, for several reasons. I've actually started a blog about it. :P

    A lot of commentators think he's less crazy than I do. I look forward to reading your post.

    By the way, have you moved to Boulder yet?

    Why yes, I am. Classes started last Monday. It's all going incredibly well so far.
