From the WaPo:

John McCain has selected Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his vice presidential running mate, according to the McCain campaign, a surprise pick sure to shake up the race and reinforce the idea of the Arizona senator as a reformer.
The news that Palin, the mayor of a small town in Alaska just two years ago, was the pick came after CNN reported that a private plane had traveled from the Last Frontier to Dayton, Ohio where McCain is set to unveil his vice presidential pick later today. The Palin news came after the two supposed frontrunners -- Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney -- each confirmed he would not be traveling to Dayton today.

OK, so what was that GOP slam about "experience matters?" McCain is picking a Veep who was a small town mayor up until two years ago and has less than two years' experience at one of the most rural and most-federally-subsidized states?

Since if he is elected, McCain would be the most likely president to die in office since FDR was re-elected in `44, this pick matters. For all of Palin's experience, McCain might have well just gone to the convention next week and had someone throw a lawn dart into the crowd.
