She a women.
That is the main reason McCain chose her over some better candidates who had far more qualifications. Sorry being the mayor of a small town and then Governor of Alaska for just two years is not enough experience. And no I don't believe Obama has enough experience either. Neither one of them should be on their parties ticket. But, Obama seem not to be troubled by his lack of experience. The reason McCain and his handlers chose her is they thought she would appeal to disfranchised Hillary supporters. Which is proving not to be the case, since she is way too conservative to appeal to many liberal Hillary supporters. Women are not flocking to the Republican ticket, instead many of them are annoyed by Palin and now have decided to vote for Obama. Hence the reason Obama just received a major boost in the polls since yesterday. Then their is all the negative news about her daughter's pregnancy. As we can see now his choice is coming back to haunt him.
PS: I forgot to add that she does sure up the Party base. Which is something McCain needed to do, or he would lose them in the election. What remains to be seen is will she appeal to conservative democrats, and independents which are need by any Republican to win the election. That I am not to sure about because of her very conservatives views.
