Reverse Dream Team

Big surprise. McCain taps Alaska Governor Sarah Palin to be his VP running mate. A shrewd political move, if nothing else. However, as we noted over on Vox Day's blog (scroll down the comments to 9/1/08 2:08 AM), the ticket would be a whole lot more palatable if it were Palin/McCain instead of McCain/Palin. With two notable recent exceptions, governors make better presidents than senators.
