What does she bring to the table to help McCain? Heaven help me, I can see some strategist in a seedy back room saying, 'I'll see your black man and raise a woman.' No, I don't think that the seedy strategist is McCain, it is just what is running through my head.
She is young, tremendously inexperienced, not completely an asset with fundamentalists who believe that the break up of the traditional family started with women entering the workforce. Alaska is not a swing state...has minimal electoral votes.
She is under investigation for corruption
