The quality that has made McCain a major American politician for two decades isn’t that he was a POW — there were several POW politicians in the 1970s and 1980s who didn’t rise as he did. Nor is it that he is a maverick who goes against his party — Arlen Specter and others have stood against the GOP and haven’t risen as McCain has. The reason is that he is very, very interesting. By choosing Sarah Palin, a young, pro-life, attractive, Alaskan governor with very limited experience, McCain has, at the very least, done something very, very interesting.
