It’s official: Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is John McCain’s VP pick. This is the best pick he could have made. Earlier this year, I had her as a favorite, not really thinking that McCain would be so bold as to pick her. Looks like I underestimated Sen. McCain’s vision after all. Alaska is as far [...]

Obama is overexposed, and turning his nomination speech into a kind of coronation is the exact sort of thing that [...]
