John McCain may have some work to do with Republican Party pros regarding his selection of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate if the underwhelmed reaction of former Maryland GOP Gov. Robert Ehrlich is any indication.
Ehrlich (pictured at right in a 2004 file photo) was in the Tribune Co. studios a few minutes ago taping a TV talk show.
On the air, Ehrlich offered an anodyne comment on Palin, saying that he didn't know much about her -- which ain't exactly a momentum-building statement.
As he left the studio, Ehrlich offered a further evidence of confusion, if not unhappiness.
"I gotta go digest this choice," he mumbled to a couple of acquaintances.
It was a surprise, one of them said.
"Everybody's surprised," he said, in the pained way one makes such a statement when an unexpected bit of news is not perceived as good.
