I've learned one thing about watching these campaign shenanigans: It's not about proving that you can run a country, it's about out PR-ing the other guy. Every smear is delivered with laser-like accuracy. McCain's choice today was a finely honed attack at the Democrats: Get those jaded Hilliary supporters (as crass as the attempt may be), give the VP a pretty face, and have her embody those token conservative qualities the right embraces (jesus, abortion, guns, etc.) It's PR at it's finest. It's also unfortunate. The US media has turned US politics into a soap opera. And they have a big hand in writing it.
If she truly is a great politician then I wish her well. But it sounds like the McCain campaign is pulling a PR stunt here.
