Jeff's already touting Sarah Palin as the only candidate on either
ballot with "executive experience." But note that Alaska has a
population (under 700,000) not much larger than that of the Des Moines
metropolitan area. Ambinder sums up the pros and cons. For me, the
choice of a woman is great (though I heard some blowhard conservative
radio guy on CNN this morning refer to Palin as a "female," which
suggests that some conservatives will have to go back to sensitivity
training before they talk much more about her). Having her a heartbeat
away from the presidency ... not so great.
