Did I hear on Meet the Press this a.m. that there is an October Surprise coming for Palin?

I agree and disagree, I guess. In a democracy it is the voters' who get to decide who will or will not lead them (duh, I know). The press, if they are doing their job, have an obligation to give us the facts on the candidates. Where we are getting so confused is that the line between news and opinion/entertainment is pretty blurry. So we have facts mixed with opinions.
Me, I actually don't think Gov. Palin has the experience to be president (and that should be the test for VP)--it's a really hard and important job. One that requires years of experience. I like her. I like what she stands for and the future of the GOP she represents.

Can’t stand Ventura for the most part, but I understand what you mean. The solidification of the blogosphere, even beyond where it was in ‘04, is further marginalizing “The Establishment” and their abilities to call the shots as they have in the past. This is a very good thing. It will help strike a fine balance between elitists running things and a mobocracy.

Over the past few years the “Establishment” has succesfully lead Americans to forget what we really beleive and stand for. Sarah Palens arrival on the scene has awakened a slumbering giant. All the apathetic mothers out there, all of a sudden have someone to remind them what the possibilites are.

Governor of CA was also an “outsider” to politics - though within CA “movie star” circles, he became “an inside” within the elites and power structures.
His Kennedy associations didn't hurt either.

We have let our policies and political offices become far too dominated by the legal profession/class. We need less people schooled in law and more schooled in life to carry our directives to Washington instead of the reverse.
Sarah is a damn good start.

I am pretty sure Ross Perot beat Ventura to that punch, and in national, not state politics, but I take your point.

Elitists always want elitists and will attack with vengeance any candidate who is not one.
