I always find the political season interesting.  What seems very predictable one day, completely changes the next.  John McCain announced yesterday his choice of Sarah Palin as Vice Presidential running mate.  I’m surprised at how many haven’t heard of her.  I first heard of Sarah Palin 4 months ago, when her son Trig was born.  Al Mohler had a story on it, which you should take a few minutes to read here.

The national commentary on the choice seems to bounce back and forth between “brilliant” and “bust.”  For what it’s worth, my prediction:  brilliant.  Regardless of where you stand politically, you have to recognize how well Palin lines up with the majority of the conservative Republican base, which is consistenly underestimated in the national media.  The next few days should tell a lot…
