I think the pivot on the Palin issue needs to be in the direction of McCain's incompetence and his obvious inability to make important, serious decisions. For example:
But as the Palin pick turns 72 hours old, McCain's campaign is learning as much about her from the media and from Democrats as they are from what minimal political preparation they had. [...]
Likewise, though she cut taxes as mayor of Wassila, she raised the sales tax, making her hardly a tax cutter. [...]
They did not know that she took trips as the mayor of Wasilla to beg for earmarks.
They did not know that she told a television interviewer this summer that she did not fully understand what it is that a vice president does.
WHOOPSIE DAISY! Oh well. McCain is only running for president and this is only the most important presidential decision he'll make before November. What-everrrr!
I've said publicly (online and on The Young Turks) that McCain is worse than Bush. And if the Palin selection is any indication, a "President" McCain would be equally if not more incompetent.
