McFibber's Judgement

Good editorial in today's New York Times.

At the heart of it, the selection of Gov. Who? as McFibber's running mate reflects a profound lack of judgement of his part. It's not Who?'s problem that she's only 20 months from being the mayor of a small town in Alaska, and unprepared to assume the office of President if necessary. She didn't select herself (although she has a nutty belief that she can do the job with a total lack of preparation). It's McFibber's hideous judgement and cynicism that is reflected in passing over so many qualified running mates.
