A reader writes in response to this post:
Strange how people can describe McCain as “working from the center” and claim he caved in or surrendered by choosing Palin over Lieberman as his VP. The very nature of working of working from the center is compromise. Compromise means that you sometimes have to give a bit to get a bit.
Palin shares a lot of McCain’s political views, especially about reforming the US government. She wasn’t his first choice, but she seems a good choice for McCain and she’s much more acceptable to the Right. Of course I’m biased. I wanted Palin as VP for some time now.
