You got it!! and the inverse, I'm sure, is why the Dems so despise 
McCain's pick.

Obama, who has been touting "change" picked a career Washington 
politician, he of "you cannot go to a 7-Eleven or a Dunkin' Donuts 
unless you have a slight Indian accent" fame, and he even declared he 
"wasn't joking". But, Biden really likes Obama, he even publicly stated 
that he was "the first mainstream African-American 
</wiki/African-American> who is articulate and bright and clean and a 
nice-looking guy."

Yeah, REAL winner for change there...

On the other hand, McCain has always been a maverick Republican. Those 
Republicans that dislike him, or are ambivalent at best (and I am the 
latter group), feel that way because he takes many stances that are to 
the left of strong Republicans. While Palin would definitely be 
considered a "balance" (she's much more socially conservative than he), 
she certainly brings a new "format" of politician to the ticket.

So, you folks keep crying out the current trend. We'll sympathize with 
you all the way to November.
