A Perfectly Executed Double Pander

John McCain's bizarre vice-presidential pick is a brazen pander to two key voting blocs: women and the religious right. Plainly, he will do just about anything to win the election, principles and good sense be damned.

Sad, really. Eight years ago, McCain ran on his beliefs, and Karl Rove whupped him good. Lesson learned, integrity jettisoned. What a steep price to pay for a shot at the Oval Office.
