Palin nomination a victory for the blogosphere
McCain's pick of Sarah Palin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarah_Palin) to be his VP has come as a surprise for most (unless you noticed McCain was not campaigning in Alaska (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/08/05/politics/washingtonpost/main4320888.shtml)), but for a trio of bloggers, the governor from Alaska has been the best choice since February 2007.
Yes, a blog, Draft Sarah Palin for Vice President (http://palinforvp.blogspot.com/), has been espousing the virtues of Palin for a year and a half. More impressively, these bloggers have no ties to Palin or Alaska. They objectively analyzed the field of prospective Republican candidates and chose one who would have the most impact. That their pick is now the pick is truly impressive. I applaud their insight and efforts, though I think she seriously undercuts McCain's attacks on Obama's lack of experience. Will be interesting to see if her strengths offset that loss.
