The Palin choice.

I think Jonas Melchnik, commenting at The Commentary Magazine blog may be absolutely right:

Will we look back on 08 and see that the [American] election was really Palin vs Obama? This whole campaign on both sides is about change, future, and turning over the old guard. So, maybe its a referendum on Obama vs McCain’s choice in passing the conservative mantle.

Yes, Palin was only a governor for 2 years, but that is executive experience, and she is an actual reformer, unlike Obama. She has no biographies out, did not rise to power through radical ties. She does her job and raised a family without fanfare, and is really great without a script. In addition, she has no academic elitism towards small town America.

I think McCain is thinking big, and setting up a new conservative movement from his own personal vision. If this plan succeeds and McCain/Palin wins, I see the headline.

“How McCain worked as the Maverick for decades, then re-invented and re-energized American conservatism on his own terms to become President in 2008″ Brilliant pick. Brilliant politician.
