Wow, even jmfcst has turned on Palin?
He's been remarkably consistent in his dislike of her (as a candidate) since a week or so after her nomination. He did correctly predict her selection and he was quite enthusiastic about it early on. But as soon as she revealed herself as a "dumb", he became quite critical. Which impressed me.
I'm the moron who thought she would spell disaster for the Democrats. Largely because I figured this country -- with an abundance of "dumbs" -- would just fall in love with that about her. His stupidity was supposedly one of the things people liked about The Decider. Hey, I'd have a beer with him and so on.
I failed to observe the political adage -- "never underestimate the American capacity to vote their pocketbook". Obama and Biden, who actually understand economics, revealed themselves to be much more likely to solve Americans' fiscal problems. Even though sweet Sarah had a smokin-fine rack.
The deciders stupidity is one of the things some people liked about him, however a funny thing happened. The American public realized, what damage having someone as dumb as dirt in the White House causes, so Palin's chances were done.
You said it better than I did, Lunar!
