So David Broder join the refrain. Altogether now:

Lost in the Beltway again
Yes I’m lost in the Beltway again
I can no longer think
So that just leaves me drink
Oh I’m lost in the Beltway again

Seriously, Governor Palin as McCain’s VEEP pick was discussed almost to ad nauseum on the internet and even on some cable networks.

She was not necessarily the favorite, but her strengths and weaknesses we clearly known. Many recognized she was the best pick for McCain though we worried he would not see it. And I think the results since he picked her bear out that we and he were right.

So what is it about these Beltway pundits including some on the right? Do they not have the internet inside the Beltway? Are DirectTV/Dishnetwork and cable TV not available? Or do they just think they are so smart, they should not check out what the peons are thinking or talking about?

People inside the beltway feel their self-described positions as valued experts and insiders are threatened whenever someone outside the beltway gets promoted.

See Palin wearing fur and as Commander of the Alaska National Guard:

America's Future Vice President, Sarah Palin
