Exactly how does picking someone who is clearly outside the Washington Beltway indicate that this ticket would provide 4 more years of Bush policies? I was a bit surprised by the pick of Palin, but certainly, this thows the first monkey wrench into the Obama message of "change". What was Obama's first major decision as a potential president ... he picked a lifelong Washington insider. Where's the "change" in that?

What was McCain's choice ... someone who highlights once again someone who thinks outside the box and is a maverick who doesn't play by conventional political rules.
