Palin

Over at Ben the Tiger there is a pretty good discussion of the fallout of the Palin pick I commented:

Pretty damn clever.

I love the talking point “She has more executive experience than the three other candidates combined.”

Locks up security moms and gets soccer moms thinking. Puts Hilly supporters in a pickle. Cements the socon base - not just pro-life, has the poor Downs baby to prove it.

Not from Washington…may never have been to Washington. Not more of the same inside the beltway routine we can expect from Biden (and Obama when someone explains to him what “inside the beltway” means.)

As meaningful a symbol as Obama except that she is a symbol for 51% of the population whereas BO is a symbol for less than 15% fo whom half are female.

Cute.

All this and it sucked the oxygen out of the Obama post convention bounce. Nice work.

Update: Hilariously, Kevin Michael Grace - back at blogging at last - disagrees.

Not to mention the rural vote: I doubt many small towns will forgive Obama team’s slag of them…

If KMG hates her, you know she’s the best pick and we’re sure to win.

Not sure Kathy as there are many including David Frumm who worked for Rove et al who are raising flags.

It is of no import to me as am not a central american yet should McCain pass away…I am not sure I would want her with the Nucleaur Briefcase Button.

Others like Rice might have been better choices but then he is trying to distance himself from Bush!
