Obama had little choice, even running on change. He needed "experience" on the ticket.

McCain, I'm not so sure what he was thinking. I can only assume he wanted to appeal to the hardcore social conservatives and some of the Hillary supporters. In doing so, he chose someone that IMO is in no way qualified to be President if she had to be.

...And I don't want to hear that she "has more experience than Obama". Being the mayor of a small town that literally has more moose than people, does not give you the experience to be President of the United States.
