What did they do to Palin?
Why, of course, they prepared her like a goose being prepared for pate de foie gras.
She was force-fed ghost-written one-liners for days.
But all they got from her was Spam (the canned meat).
Sarah Palin is simply not capable of anything more, and I am surprised you cannot see that, Clive.
Her very tone and the things she chooses to focus on – “surrender,” for example, shades of the Alamo - tell anyone who doesn't have a tin ear that the woman is close to feeble-minded.
Unlike some, I never expected her to "melt down." She's too brassy for that.
But she cannot open her mouth in a sequence of answers without revealing what she is.
And what she is is someone utterly unfit for high office.
Selecting her is a terrible reflection, too, on McCain's character: anything to cap his career with the presidency, anything to outdo his admiral father.
Well, Obama is going to win and win big.
The Times, London, reported yesterday that McCain's operation has pulled up stakes in Michigan, stopping all advertising there.
It has to mean they have terrible private polls, and Michigan is a key state to McCain's strategy.
There is also the good news that deeply concerned Republicans are secretly meeting in Florida out of worry about tumbling polls.
It's all good news to reasonable people.
God, even America cannot elect that dud pair after 8 years of disastrous incompetence.
