So Now Giving A Strong Speech IS Enough To Be President? OK! Good To Know!

Completing the process of completely reversing the entire premise of the McCain campaign, we are now told that Sarah Palin has proved herself ready, because she gave a speech that excited her base, just like Barack Obama.

Never mind that her base is shrinking, much less that what Obama did from his first day on the national stage was reach out beyond his base.

Never mind that she's mired in more scandals than we can count, and addressed none of them.

Never mind that she blatantly lied, again, about opposing the "bridge to nowhere."

Never mind that she is the corruption she rails against. She gave a speech that excited her base, ergo, she's VP material.

So, what is Ann Coulter, chopped liver?

...................

The choice here is simple: Does the media--and, under their influence, the American electorate--accept the GOP framework that whatever they say is true, regardless of how contradictory or incoherent it may be? Or does it accept the Dem framework that... well, once again, even now, it's not really clear what the Dem framework is. And that, to me, is the only real problem the Democrats face in winning this election handily, the way the damn well ought to.
