McCain - Out of the Box Perfection - Palin Running Mate

At first, hearing the name of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate gave pause - there was definitely some concern as to reasoning of this particular choice by the Maverick. Did McCain choose Palin because she was a woman - and any woman would do? Was it to attract disgruntled Clinton supporters or to appease a base that cried out for a conservative choice. After reviewing who Sarah Palin is, the reason McCain made this choice is glaringly clear: he chose a strong person for the spot - Palin, a mother of 5, fiscal conservative, pro-life, Governor of Alaska (Well liked in a Blue State). She is the epitome of a Conservative Feminist. McCain chose for McCain - who he felt was best for the Country. Should any thing happen to prevent John McCain from performing the duties of the office of the President (should he become the President), then it would be comforting to know a strong woman would be there to step in and take the reigns of this country.
