If you want to know why ... John McCain came to pick a total unknown with a Down Syndrome baby as his replacement as war-president, you have to understand the immense importance of the Christianist base. McCain isn't one of them, however much he tries to re-tell his life-story to make it so. They know it, he knows it, and he needed a religious running mate. He might have succeeded with Pawlenty, who is a solid pick that a mature and responsible campaign would have selected in a heartbeat.
Instead - partly out of insane cynicism (did he really believe Hillary's voters would switch over to vote for Palin?), partly out of a shallow liking for a shallow reading of Palin's record, and partly out of pure negligence - he picked Palin, barely knowing her.

Or as Gore calls them - the extra chromosome crowd.
Roll clip of Andrew, shirtless on the dance floor at Roseland in a sea of shirtless men. His eyes dilated from his last hit of ecstacy and the steady beat of deep industrial trance music pounding on his head...
There, now let’s talk about crediblity.
Best to ignore this guy.
You cannot lose what you never had.
Andrew Sullivans brain has been eaten up by GAYNESS and HATRED for anything of decency.
Don’t go to that SICK site.
Sullivan is unhinged.
So , let me get this straight, Sarah Palin is an associate of her daughter and her baby who has Down’s .... drive by media investigates fully and wont let it go..
yet Obama is an associate of Wright, Ayers Rezco et al...and we can’t associate his “experience” with them in considering him for a candidate for President of the United States and Free World...
The media put more time into going after Sarah and her daughter and son then they did Obama and his ‘family’, yet still ignore the son in the services....
If this don’t doom Nobama then we deserve him as President.
What garbage he has become. I guess he is making more money catering to liberal trash.
Actually, while I’ve never been a McCain fan, the more I learned about him (he was named the chaplain at the “Hanoi Hilton,” his comments at Saddleback), the more I think he is a committed Christian who truly doesn’t use his faith as a political tool the way, say, Jimmy Carter or the “Rev.” Wright do. He hardly needed a “Christian” on the ticket to convince me of his commitment to the Lord.
Andrew, stick to what you do best...bending over and getting sticked.
“Christianist”? Why that extra syllable, except to liken Christians to Islamicists?
Tough to lose decency when you never had any.
People still read Andrew Sullivan’s site?
? Obviously coming from someone completely clueless about religion.
I’ve never seen this kind of fear from these people.
Don’t take this lightly. What they’re capable of will surprise even the most jaded observers.
Everybody better be ready to fight like hell. This is going to be a war.
Sullivan is off the reservation because he knows Palin could sink the candidacy of the Messiah.
Andrew Sullivan has a wider stance than Larry Craig, bending over that is...
Mr. Sullivan needs to get laid, ...
... By a woman this time.
