To the Editor,
In what is under the heading "News Analysis" (Choice of Palin Is a Bold Move by McCain, With Risks , 8/29), the Times frightfully headlines and writes that Senator McCain risks undercutting his central case against Senator Barack Obama with Gov Palin as his choice for VP running mate. Risks? With the central case being about experience, it blows the central argument out of the water! How can anyone not say that this choice undercuts the experience argument? Gov Palin has been in office less than two years in one of the least populous states, and before that, the mayor of a smallish town population around 9,000. She is hardly known nationally and has no foreign policy experience. That there is any question about the experience argument being undercut reflects either poor or fearful (of conservative reaction) news analysis.
