my fav: Ailin’ & Palin

wow. bitterness unleashed. i sympathize with abused women, but wow. this just perpetuates the abuse. it’s like a headlong dive into abuse forever.

wow.

i know i know, the rules don’t seem to apply to repugs the same as they do for dems, but if the questions regarding the abuse of power problems are targeted by the obama campaign, and if the media bothers to actually report them, she should be forced to withdraw. or mccain will replace her.

the report on her conduct comes out just days before the election, and the fact that mccain took her on anyway makes me very suspicious that the fix is already in. but in the meantime, the details are not good, and what is public is already terribly incriminating, as she evidently made direct contact with the safety commissioner about this patrolman; the patrolman was not fired, but the commissioner was. he has been interviewed by time mag, due out this week.

there may be an echo chamber and a number of talking heads who sing her praises, but the women of this country as a whole will not. she’s probably the scariest person to be up for high office since dan quayle and harriet miers; bush, of course, set the bar so low it’s hard anymore to compare.

in any case, as rahm emmanuel suggested, this is a decision made in political panic. face it; they don’t have a deep bench, if you could call their options anything like first string material. it’s pretty pathetic, and the decision was made as a cold political calculus, not with any consideration for the larger implications of what this country needs. i don’t think the bulk of the voting populace will miss this.

She is one heartbeat of a very old heart away from being President and that should absolutely frighten people.

Sarah Palin is John McCain’s VP Pick!

CNN just confirmed, Sarah Palin is John McCain’s running mate!

I’ll say it again: Karma is a bitch Barack! You should have picked Hillary!

And here’s just one comment:

Great pick. Smart choice for McCain. This is making the Obamacrats nuts.

Jeralyn at Talk Left thinks she is McCain’s “Eagleton.” Wow, as in powerful women are psycho???

Jeralyn has lost it.

McCain wins. It’s over. Obama played right into his hands. His pettiness and hubris has lost him the election.
