Can this woman go a day without a gaffe? Actually, Palin is much worse than Agnew. Agnew provided many, many gaffes and was crazy, but he could string coherent sentences together when necessary. And he actually ran a state where he dealt with prevalent issues of the time, like civil rights, urban decline, etc. Palin's got nothing like that. It's not that her record in Alaska is bad (though there are clearly some worrisome parts), just that it isn't very applicable to being president. And she is clearly unprepared, far more so than Agnew ever was.
At the end of the day, this pick might well be the worst VP selection ever. We're in Eagleton territory already, except that McCain can't drop her without the same fate befalling him that befell McGovern.
