Dude, WTF? McCain has shot himself in the foot with a large caliber weapon. Why on earth would he pick some creationist unknown under investigation by her own state legislature? Ambinder says that most of the Republican strategists he's spoken to don't get it. Pawlenty and Romney are baffled and annoyed at being passed over. McCain has jumped the shark many a time, but this time he's done it in a way that people are going to find hard to ignore. Sarah Palin. Huh?
