Another illustration of what the Obama administration would be like. Palin's name has been mentioned for months as a possible VP, albeit as an extremely dark horse. So how come the Obama team didn't have SOME type of file on her? "Her name wasn't on anybody's list?" It's been on FreeRepublic lists for months. Doesn't the vaunted Obama campaign have any kind of intelligence capability at all?
The DOD plans scenarios for all kinds of unlikely things. This guy wants to be Commander-in-Chief. How is it that nobody thought to do any research on Palin and develop at least the guts of a counter strategy, just in case?
This from the same guy who has at last been forced to acknowledge how utterly and arrogantly wrong he was about the Iraq War in general and the surge in particular.
Obama daily displays his managerial and decision-making incompetence. Too bad more people don't seem to notice.
Just goes to show that McCain is an outside the box thinker by picking Palin, while Obama and his team are not.

Yep. McCain is running this thing like a naval campaign - I almost picture him thinking of her like a carrier. He announces her on Friday and lets her launch a little raid. Then hides her in the storm. The media go ballistic trying to find her. Two days later he lets sail in the open for a bit and let the enemy make a run at her. She belches a little smoke then hides in the storm again. Then Wednesday, just when they think they sank her, she comes out of nowhere and wastes them.
I swear the look on Olbermann face after the speech was probably how the Japanese admiral looked like at Midway. “Hey Yoshi, Where did that third carrier come from? I thought we sunk it.”
It’s kinda like his admission about the Surge working. “No one expected it to work”.
It’s like watching someone trying to play chess using the rules of checkers.
