A rare mid work posting but…

Ted, nice call on palin as originally seen in the comment sections of a few postings on BccList.com here, here, here, and here. As I commented back, it still doesn’t help the ticket.

For example, what happens if this grossly aging man dies within the next 4 years?  Do we really want a 44 year old with experience in Alaskan politics leading the free world?  Also, isn’t this pick a little too abstract for middle America to understand?  Either abstract or idiotic.

Update: The Obama camp of course came out with the following statement… “Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9000 with zero foreign-policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.”

Not a good sign for anyone that still somehow supports the republican candidate after the last 8 years…

“John McCain, it seems, is having trouble filling a 10,000 seat theater in Dayton.  They’re giving away free tickets in several states and plan to bus in supporters. The VP announcement can’t be overshadowed by a less-than-capacity crowd.”

Shawn, thank you.
