Sarah Palin doesn't pass the laugh test

How long before John McCain gives the speech where he says he's 1000 percent behind Sarah Palin?

I allude, of course, to George McGovern's famous quote about his first vice presidential choice, Tom Eagleton, back in 1972. That assurance was followed by a decision to dump Eagleton after reports surfaced that he had been treated for depression with electroshock therapy.

This Palin nomination is shaping up to be the worst vice presidential pick since '72. I gather that there is still great hope for Palin inside the hall where the convention is being held. But I'm not inside that hall. The modern political convention is a TV show, and it is best watched on TV, which is what I'm doing.


Enjoy reading the rest at the link.

2. If Palin can energize the snake-lickers
Edited on Thu Sep-04-08 10:14 AM by bushwentawol
but not the mainstream (Goldwater) conservatives things do not look well for the trollop from the tundra. And I really don't even know if she can deliver all the conservative fundies, except for those who'd vote gop no matter what.
