John McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate earlier today in Dayton, Ohio, diminishing press coverage of last night’s speech by Barack Obama — and also wresting away Sen. Joe Biden’s lead in the latest Zogby “V.P.I.L.F.” poll before he got a chance to really enjoy it.
McCain should win some sort of Vicky Cristina Barcelona Award for use of a woman to distract the public from an old man’s irrelevance. But, considering Scarlett and Penelope getting it on wasn’t enough to put Woody over the top, the G.O.P. better have something to keep people interested in the weeks ahead — before people start saying that Gov. Palin is nothing more than Dan Quayle in a Dress.
