It looks like John McCain has selected the newbie Alaskan Governor, Sarah Palin, to be his running mate. This makes for an interesting contrast to the Democratic ticket:

On the one ticket... Obama, the supposed “agent of change” for American politics, picks Joe Biden, an “inside the beltway” master of maintaining the well-oiled political machine.

And on the other ticket... McCain, the oldest candidate in history to run for the office of President, selects someone with less than two years of experience as governor of one of the least populated states in the union.

We are indeed living in “interesting times"...
