i think this choice is fantastic. her lack of experience and all that mumbo jumbo is exactly that, mumbo jumbo. if it's not a negative for obama, why is it a negative for her? and as far as i can tell, she's done something concrete. i haven't heard anything concrete that obama has done for illinois (someone enlighten me, please).
besides, any other VP pick would be aggressively attacked as "more of the same", "old white guys", ad nauseam...
long running doesn't necessarily mean more of the same.
