Hockey mom in charge

I don't agree with Sarah Palin's politics--she's opposed to abortion rights; she supports offshore drilling in a nature reserve--but that's no big surprise; she is a Republican.

But I'm thrilled that she's been selected as McCain's running mate. It managed to poke a hole in my thick anti-US-election callus, grown after Bush got elected for the second time.

McCain may have picked Palin to woo the 'bitter Clinton woman' camp. And both tickets still have an old white guy. But still, both presidential tickets are making history.

And McCain is old. A heartbeat away from breaking the seal on a female prez (not that Kim Campbell did Canada much good).
