Sarah Palin is a babe?

A friend of mine says Sarah Palin is a babe. While I agree with his diagnosis, her career as a single term mayor has a few antics which makes her less of a qualified candidate for VP. Read:

Thus my conclusion why she was elected as McCain's running mate is purely because:

1. She's a woman. This will bring in the votes originally meant for Hillary Clinton
2. She's pro-life

Thus, Palin is the exact opposite of what Obama is. If this strategy works, I'll tip my hat to Carly Fiorina.
