Sarah Palin: Gotta Love Her!

Sarah Palin rocked. Her family rocked. Excellent pick, Mr. McCain. The news this morning, various channels, replayed her best lines--and there were a lot of them. When she was selected, the conventional wisdom was that McCain had just forfeited his greatest argument against Obama--that he was inexperienced. But Palin's executive experience--though minimal--only accentuates Obama's pervasive novice-ness.

A few other notes:

  • Rudy was superb. He killed Obama on the experience issue. Gave me extensive pause.
  • Did you know that John McCain was a POW? Someone pointed that out last night.
  • I watched the first 45 minutes of Morning Joe this a.m. A ravefest for Palin.
  • I remain concerned that the McCain campaign is headed toward the contemptible "divide the country so we can win the election" tactics of George Bush.
  • The constant "USA!" chanting really gets on my nerves.
  • Mitt Romney: boring! He said something about Republicans not being the party of Big Brother. 'Scuse me, but--warrantless wire-tapping of American citizens? Curbing of civil rights?
  • I didn't like the campaign people constantly portraying Palin as a victim of the press. As if she was sequestered in a hotel room, barely holding back tears, muttering, "Everyone's picking on me. Please tell them to s-t-o-o-o-o-o-p." She's a tough gal. I can't imagine she enjoys being depicted as a victim.
