Palin for President

In watching John McCain's acceptance speech last night at the RNC, I was a little confused. The first part (after the congratulatory and gratitude remarks) he spent at least 5-7 minutes talking about Gov. Sarah Palin. For a moment it sounded like she was the presidential candidate. McCain made a big deal about her qualifications over Obama and the Democrats. I thought that the presidential race was McCain v. Obama, but it sounded like it was Obama v. Palin.

I think that everyone is so confused about why he picked her that he felt he had to justify his choice. In effect, she is running for president because he has to show everyone that she's qualified enough to stand in for him should the need arise.
