Partisanship is awesome.
McCain is up against a candidate that isn't your typical male WASP who brings ideas of hope and change. His biggest weapon against the candidate is his lack of experience. So he tabs a non-male WASP who brings ideas of hope and change but lacks experience.
Obama is up against a candidate that is a typical male WASP who is considered an outspoken member of the senate and brings experience to the table. His biggest weapon against the candidate is that he has too much experience and doesn't offer change. So he tabs a male WASP who is an outspoken member of the senate but doesn't offer any type of change.
And then the partisan happy fanboys rip on the other party's vice president candidate for the same reasons their president candidate gets trashed. It's so damn entertaining
