Listen, I understand the strategy behind McCain's pick and rightly so it had to be done. The McCain camp realized the wide enthusiasm gap between theres and Obamas.  So this pick was designed to help close that gap at least some and to my knowledge it has accomplished that goal thus far.  But there are some downturns to McCain's pick and that is that he ran his opposition on Obama lacking experience which undermines that entire plan since his "VP" choice has a limited amount of experience as well.

This tells the American people that experience really doesn't matter because of this pick and that McCain apparently didn't have any issue with Obama but he merely was grasping at a tactic to somehow have a chance to compete in this race.  I believe the common sense American people will be cognizant of this fact and will despised McCain's strategy anymore and as a result he will lose the race by a large margin regardless of the tracking polls indication.
