I don't think he could have picked a better running mate. If you have ever heard this woman speak you would know that she is extremely intelligent and down to earth. She doesn't have a long history in office but the time she has served has been successful. I like her because she sticks to her guns. I agree that no one saw this one coming at all, but I think he made an excellent choice. If McCain wins, she will compliment him well. They make a great team.
