its a gamble that will depend entirely on how well she comes across, and how prepared she is for the big stage.
I agree...but man...what a roll of the dice. I'm sure they vetted her but this has to be a McCain gut decision

he's the maverick.
It's not a safe choice at all and could either make or break him.

I think it was.

What is Biden going to do when they debate?
Say what are ya going to do babe when your Pres. dies
you are comander and chief and a war breaks out, go and cry?


He cant beat on her one bit. She grabs some Hillary votes.
I say it was a bold stroke that puts McCain ahead.

I like the fact that he will take a chance though. He could have just sat on his hands and lost.
