deer in headlights, or genius?

Washington was caught totally by surprise with John McCain's appointment of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his running mate. Officials sites with biographical information on Palin are down, people are scratching their heads to learn more than the basic facts that have put forth on her: conservative, NRA lifetime member, mother of five, first term Governor, former beauty contestant.

It seems from her walk out in Dayton that she was surprised as well. There doesn't appear to be any physical connection between the McCain's and the Palin's, though perhaps her husband's skills as a snow machine operator will come in handy during the campaign.

On the positive side, Palin started her professional life as a sports reporter, so clearly she has reason to believe she knows the score.
