People thought Limbaugh would hate this VP pick...

Quite the contrary.

If Obama would have went with Hilary, is there any chance McCain would have picked Palin?

Well it's irrelavant, really. I think if Obama picked Hillary, he'd have won regardless of who McCain picked.

Fortunately, that wasn't the case.

imo, if BO would have selected Hill, it wouldn't have mattered who JM picked. It would have been BO/Hill for 8 years.

It almost seems like a reactive pick to me.

Definately calculated

Maybe a little bit. But at the same time, it's not like she doesn't bring anything else to the table. She has more experience than even Barack does, and really has no true naysayers, unlike my boy Mitt, Lieberman or Huckabee did.

It's a safe (and yet somewhat bold) pick, she's a true conservative (which he is not, so there are some general differences between the two, other than gender, that most P/VP pairs seem to have) and just like Barack's campaign, it's a first for this country, being the first women on the ticket offsets the overhyped "spectacular-ness" of Barack simply being the first minority presidential candidate.

It's not meant as a knock on her, but what is the "more experience" she has than Barack?

Executive.

Executive.

Exactly.
