Sarah Palin's a Brainiac

I also have to say that my initial reaction when I first heard McCain had chosen Palin, a woman, as his runningmate, I felt a surge of hope and thought for a moment I could be persuaded to give McCain another chance at my vote. Of course, I knew precious little about her at the time, and it didn't take me long to say "thanks but no thanks for that bridge to nowhere."

I had read up on her because I had heard rumblings that she was going to be the pick, and I was mortified. That's just me though. I tend toward the dramatic.

On Hillary supporters: I was having a discussion with some women today who think that the PUMA thing is mostly a ruse put together by internet troublemakers. And there's some evidence of that. On the other hand, polling still shows a significant number of post-Hillary-ers refusing to support Obama. So I don't know what to think.

He realized immediate departure may be more difficult than initially he thought. He's just clever, but I don't see anything terribly centrist about his situation. He's got some Bill Clinton in him, liberal in nature, but cover your butt so that anything you do will look like it's what you wanted in the first place. Nothing centrist about that. He is much more deft with words than McCain.

I think we're generally in agreement that Obama is liberal to the point of communism. What I'm saying is I'm seeing things here and there that suggest to me that he may be more of a Tito than a Mao.

Cold comfort I understand, but comfort none the less.

But he's also going to rewrite the Constitution. Consider yourself forewarned.

Kinda sounds like the guy who goes to the prostitute, who first says, "I gave you gonorrhea", only later to find out it was syphilis. Thanks a lot mate.
