Not what we expected to wake up to

Last night we went to bed under the impression that Tim Pawlenty was the likely running mate for John McCain while Mitt Romney was still a possibility too.  One thing Inside Edge was told is it would be a “safe pick.”  This morning we wake up and the impression is Alaska Governor Sarah Palin is the pick.  But could this all be just for media attention.  Maybe we need to look at yesterdays report where McCain backer Sid Rosen said Meg Whittman was the choice.  While there is no way that could be considered a “safe pick” it can’t be ruled out.
