The talking points are out.  Sarah Palin, someone who has only been a Governor for 18 months is only a heart beat away from the Presidency.  The John McCain campaign may be running into the biggest roadblock they could face by waiting until the last minute to make this announcement.  The campaign has not had time to prep the media on the talking points they want and the Democrats may be defining his pick before he has a chance to. If the campaign had leaked yesterday that the final candidates in consideration included Palin they could have also released their talking points for the press to consider. Critics with a sense of humor say congratulations to John McCain, he managed to pick someone that is less qualified than Geraldine Ferraro was.
