There is a party with a cross-gender ticket where the male candidate has an accomplished record of bi-partisan, and at times unpopular stances on significant legislation and the female is an energetic, accomplished politician with a short resume but a bright future in politics.

If I were to ask you a year ago which party that ticket was representing, what would your answer have been?

And consider this: if the McCain-Palin ticket wins in November there is distinct possibility that Sarah Palin would run against Hillary Clinton with four years of Vice Presidential experience under her belt. Being the wife of the president counts for real experience when you are running against an empty suit, not so much when there is real competition.
