Hahahaha. He said he wanted to last more than a day.

Oh by the way, Mike Murphy and Peggy Noonan got caught on a live mic over at MSNBC...

"It's over." "Insulting to Kay Bailey Hutchinson" "Political b*llsh!t." "Gimmicky."

Ouchies!!

Hah haw!

Tenigma, who was speaking when they were saying that? Palin?

Never mind....Palin hasn't actually spoken yet.

Reading some prereleased exerpts of the speech....I liked this one.

Quote:

"And since our opponents in this presidential election seem to look down on that experience, let me explain to them what the job involves. I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a 'community organizer,' except that you have actual responsibilities."

Ok, all I've seen is that line, and I'm disgusted that she'd put down the work Obama did in the seriously stricken communities of Chicago. Tasteless. Go ahead and describe your public service but to spit on another's? This is the quote you liked?

It was clearly a barb related to them slamming on her experience or lack there of, particularly with Obama now proclaiming that he has more experience than Palin - as if it matters if he does or not. She's the VP candidate, he's the candidate for President.

I do believe the dems (and don't expect me to believe that things happen in the campaign without Obama's approval) were mocking her experience as a small town mayor before she said that.

Much like the Rep's were doing to Obama about 2 weeks ago and prior?

Exactly. I don't deny it at all, nor will I be shocked at politicians being political. I don't live in a world where I think my side doesn't play politics.

With Palin's selection and the related events of the past week, the campaign has taken a strange turn. Where once it was Christian morality vs. Hollywood debauchery, now it seems that you're not a real American unless you're life is, well, Springeresque. I predict we'll hear more tawdry personal revelations about her family in the coming weeks that will be exploited towards this end. I expect McCain will appear on the platform tonight with his first wife and his old girlfriends.

The Democrats will try to respond in kind, but they won't get it right. Obama will start smoking more in public, but he'll look more like a 60's intellectual smoker than a working class smoker. He'll yell at his wife in public. Beau Biden will agree to come out as gay--even though he's really not--and Joe Biden will show up at debates drunk talking about how much he loves his gay son.

For those interested, Sarah Palin has a vlog on YouTube.
