"This cynical choice has left McCain’s honour in shreds"

Seems like a hysterical and incoherent rant at the lovely Mrs. Palin. Politically MM is rightish in nature. Touch of jealousy perhaps? I notice her press photo is very over-exposed (takes a few years off)...

The lovely Mrs. Palin?

She gives me the creeps - seriously.

The self-declared "moose-hunting pitbull with lipstick".

If the old barstard McCain pops his clogs, she could be in charge!

Actually I read that article on the weekend and didn't come away with that impression at all. I think her point was on the selection - not the candidate. Maybe you should read the whole thing.

If anything she admired Palin, and pinned her colours clearly to the conservative right wing mast.

Palin is an uneducated, unthoughtful conservative in the George Bush (and CUK) mould and hence unfit for the nuances and subtleties of high office in the US.
There are many republicans who see this as a mistake.
FWIW I think Obama is a naive and inexperienced but talks a good game.
McCain is about to pop his clogs.
The US voters don't have much choice, just like us. Mediocrity rules.

If that was true you'd get elected...

McCain made a risky move but it was good one. Personally I'd vote even for AndyW if he made concrete promise to get Putin and his scumbag mates.

I think the biggest issue here is that since McCain is past 70 now, and statistically has a reasonable chance of dropping dead in the next 4 years, she will end up as President by default. In light of this is she really a good choice?

It's fine - she won't do much anyway, there will be elections pretty quickly - in USA such things are fairly well regulated. Congress and Senate have got a fair amount of power anyway so she won't be able to do anything stupid.
