Sarah Palin: the Baby Ruth bar that has been tossed into the swimming pool of DU.
Best analogy I can think of for the effect she has had on the place.

Just a thought.

3. I think the blogs' Palin response is understandably disproportional
correspondent to Palin's being disproportionally unqualified.

If McCain had chosen former Senator John Danforth of Missouri, the pick would not have provoked anywhere near this response -- in either tone or volume -- because Danforth, unlike Palin, is a qualified soul.

6. And some will choose to behave based on what she looks like.
The rest of us will choose based on what she actually is.

14. President Palin?
Edited on Sun Sep-07-08 10:52 AM by dmordue
I never thought the repubs would gain the WH in 2000 and 2004 so I know what the American voters are capable of doing. I think the prospect of a President Palin is a valid picture to present to voters.

Also, the way McCain chose Palin - an impulsive choice that put partisan politics ahead of American interests is the perfect exposure of his American first lies.
