Better than a sharp stick, but not by much

With his 'surprise' choice for vice president, John McCain has given the Democrats a nicely political poke in the eye. A woman, sure, but a conservative one who's Pro-Life (hell, even Rico is pro-life, he's just pro-abortion, too), pro-gun, pro-hunting, and pro-a lot of things the Democrats won't like. And better looking than that one the Democrats didn't pick, too...
Given that John McCain is one of the least ethnic candidates in a long time (unless you consider the Irish as ethnic), it was a hell of a smart move. (And they haven't even trotted out her Inuit husband yet, either.)
Rico says it's going to be an interesting couple of months until the election.
