McCain announced Palin as his pick on August 29th 2008.

Last year? Do you mean 2008? That's a great question, I'm not sure. I think it was a definitely a few weeks before the convention though. So soon...

Oops, I meant 2008. Yeah, it just seems like it's taking forever.

I agree. It seems like 4 years ago we started this election.

Elizabeth Dole? Didn't the author start with the premise that they wouldn't waste our time?

Then why mention her? Brother Romney is having a tough couple weeks, things are starting to get interesting. This is going to be a bare knuckles brawl.

I thought it was a good article but a strange premise.
Romney has no real reason to choose a female running mate.
any women conservative enough to get base support would alienate the "strong woman voters" Sara Palin anyone?
Intrade (my oracle on political races) has Tim Pawlenty at 35% Rob Portman at 13% Marco Rubio at 8.2% Condoleezza Rice at 6.1% Bobby Jindal at 4.5% only one woman in that bunch. I personally like Condie but her association with Bush does her no favors with the moderate crowd. She is also mildly pro-choice and thinks "America was born with the birth defect of slavery" Although this hurts her with the conservative base [who for some reason still defend slavery] it may get Romney some swing votes. His base is already Flavor Aid drinking dolts they would vote for an admitted evil cyborg if Fox news told them to.
