So what's the deal with Sarah Palin? She's barely qualified to complete a sentence, let alone take over if the President dies. Still people (specifically straight dudes) like her.
Kathleen Parker at the Washington Post says it's all about the S-E-X:
One does not have to be a psychoanalyst to reckon that McCain was smitten. By no means am I suggesting anything untoward between McCain and his running mate. Palin is a governor, after all. She does have an executive résumé, if a thin one. And she's a natural politician who connects with people.
But there can be no denying that McCain's selection of her over others far more qualified -- and his mind-boggling lack of attention to details that matter -- suggests other factors at work. His judgment may have been clouded by . . . what?
The fact that he wanted to do it with her!?
What do you all think, is the theory in this article that "attractive" women can influence men reductive, or right on?
