Double-Maverick

Toby Harnden, at Telegraph:

I've just got off the phone with a senior McCain adviser at his Arlington headquarters who summed up the Palin pick this way: "A maverick with a record of reform has chosen a maverick with a record of reform. John McCain is putting Washington on notice that there's a shake-up coming."

MCCAIN PICKS ALASKA GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN AS VP CANDIDATE - New York Post:

DAYTON, Ohio - John McCain picked Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, a maverick conservative with less than two years in office, as his vice presidential running mate Friday in a startling choice as the Republican National Convention drew near.

MSNBC:

In his introduction of Palin, McCain portrayed her as a McCain-like maverick and as ordinary mother who understood the struggles of other parents.

"Maverick" is the only idea they have.

Palin - vote for her cuz she's like McCain!
