As terrified I am that Sarah Palin may actually end up one step away from the White House, I'm even more terrified that McCain's camp will come to its senses, make her drop out and the new choice will be Joe Lieberman. Thereby allowing all the democrats who aren't "comfortable" voting for Barack (aka, the black guy) to vote a little bit Democrat. I just don't see her lasting through the month. Unless she gets sequestered to Cheney's bunker that it.
The open secret of modern politics is branding/story/whatever you want to call it, it's still bullshit, but like Goebbel's Big Lie you just have to keep repeating it for it to be "true." Palin, the lipsticked wingnut, Dan Quayle in drag, won't be dropped from the GOP ticket. The ruling plutocrats need her to bring the lunatic fringe to the polls. That's key to a McPalin win. Which also depends on a sub-rosa appeal to race, a dependence on the South’s New Jim Crow laws (which disenfranchise up to 3 million citizens), & dirty tricks suppression of the vote.

I know the game, as much fun as it is to watch I'm still terrified. This election is perhaps the strangest reality show anyone has pitched.

so totally scary: Palin is such a nightmare!!!
hope you don't mind, I tagged you in one of my blog posts. another blogger tagged me... I had no idea what it meant but then figured it out: pretty much the blog equivalent of a freakin' chain-letter.
