She’s got the base dazzled, and is making it possible for the "Maverick” to reemerge. That in turn is making people like me like McCain again. Presumably swing voters may like him again, too. She was a brilliant choice, and could really give John a shot – but not because of the all the women she’ll attract, but because she gives him cover to be himself again. Fascinating. @ExiledIndependent

I still think that Palin is panem et circeses for conservatives so they don't pay too much attention to the top of the ticket. With Palin as an opiate for the right, McCain is free to go after the middle without the distraction of the conservatives questioning him about immigration, for example. Some interesting points.

What does Sarah Palin have to offer?

Does that mean that once she scrapes off the lipstick, we have a pit bull? :p Joking, folks! --Ag Okay, so, Palin identifies herself as a “hockey mom”…
