He'll appeal to the fundamentalist base of the party, he'll dial the average age of the ticket down to something like 149, he'll allow McCain to continue with the fiction that he's interested in bipartisan cooperation, and he'll increase McCain's chances of flipping MN -- which, if I'm not mistaken, is within the MOE in the most recent polls. Anyhoo, we'll know soon enough. Chatter around the inter-webs suggests that McCain will try to steal Obama's acceptance speech thunder by announcing his pick this evening.
