Palin for VP

Politico reports that the McCain campaign is actively considering three women for the position of vice president. While Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchinson is certainly an impressive politician, I believe that she is a bit too old for the post, particularly given McCain's advanced age. Former Hewlett Packard CEO Carley Fiorina would be an interesting pick, but her lack of political skills could pose a problem.

Which leaves Alaska governor Sarah Palin, my personal choice for VP. Palin is a young, effective, popular Republican who has built her reputation on fighting corruption, a challenging task in the Last Frontier. Palin would bring much-needed youth and dynamism to the ticket, and she could woo disaffected Hillary voters much more effectively than could, for example, Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty.

Sure, Palin is a bit inexperienced, but Obama is not one to talk on that issue. Palin for VP!
