One interesting upshot of this could be that with the crazys firmly on side, McCain can go back to being the real deal, and then he could be a real problem for Obama.
To be fair, there are crazys on both sides of the poltical spectrum, and from where I stand, the centre, they are equally scary, you may see things differently depending on where you are standing.
This one seems like a hail mary pass to me, but the more I hear about Palin and the more I think about it the more likely it seems to me to work. That still ranks it as an outside shot, but if McCain returns to his 'good' old centrist self, I think it will only be for the betterment of all, win or lose. Remember this is the man who called the religious right, 'agents of intolerance'. If they are willing to support him, I think that that shows that Palin was a good choice for him.
Only time will tell of course, but I really would prefer if McCain discontinued his swerve to the right, and if the choice of Palin is a way to get him back on ground he is more comfortable with I consider that a 'good thing'.
