Let's all give John McCain a round of applause. He may have just delivered the election to Obama with his VP selection.
Today the media's floodgates opened on Sarah Palin:
We now know her unmarried 17 year old daughter is pregnant. Her husband had a DWI. She helped lead Ted Stevens' 527. All this comes on top of the initial Troopergate scandal. Who knows what will be revealed once more reporters make the trek to Alaska for research.
The day before she was announced, Barack Obama lambasted McCain's judgment and temperament. The next few weeks will prove Obama correct without Obama having to say much at all.
So today, we should all thank Senator McCain for his gift and then sit back and enjoy the show.
It's going to get good.

UPDATE
Some people have commented that the image I included is in bad taste. I don't believe it is. It is a metaphor for everything surrounding the situation at hand. McCain is the unprepared father who "knocks up" Palin because he needed to feed his campaign with a fresh news cycle. The unborn baby represents the unwanted effects of McCain's rash decision.
