    Makes McCain look and act old and dowdy

    I have not seen anybody mention this aspect of Palin that the McCain camp does not seem to have considered when making her pick. At her introduction by McCain, I think she came off looking energetic, smart and good looking. You would think that is not bad but it made McCain look extremely old and dowdy. He looked like how a grandfather, who is tired with life looks when standing next his teenage daughter! I feel this will play out more and more in the coming days forcing everybody to view McCain as old, bitter and boring old man everytime they appear together.
