Under "Why NOT McCain"

Then there was the baffling selection of little-known Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate – a heartbeat away from the presidency – in the first critical test of his judgment as the standard bearer of his party.

Yes, her selection did inject some much-needed excitement into the campaign. Yes, it was popular with some segments of the party's conservative base. And, yes, it did bring some executive experience to the ticket, even if it's as governor of a state that by population is 47th in the nation and about half the size New Hampshire.

But the most qualified Republican for the No. 2 job in the country? Someone who would be ready and able to step into the corner office in case of an emergency and lead the country?

In Delaware Sen. Joe Biden, Obama chose someone to help him govern the nation. In Palin, McCain chose someone to help him win the election. Which act was more presidential?


Here is the interview referenced in the article"
