I stand corrected, I should have used “I” instead of “we” in that part of my post. Many of us knew about Palin and did not/do not consider her inexperienced or a lightweight. And I will throw Bobby Jindal (sp?) and Rep. Cantor into the mix as well. Any of those three would open the next generation of conservative leaders. Heck, I will toss Hunter in there too.
But *I* did not foresee how well Gov. Palin would “connect.” But Rove (?) did. McCain and whoever advised him on this selection have to be enjoying this. *I* am.

***Authentic conservatives “connect”. McCain probably had a dozen or so really good contenders in front of him, and he chose the brightest up & coming prolife female. This was his choice and he did a great job of it. The thing I don’t think McCain foresaw was that the media frenzy would cause them to jump the shark, and that was what I was pushing as a STRATEGY. What McCain stumbled upon, I (and other Hunter supporters) were pushing for all along. Since McCain didn’t develop this as a strategy, it means he doesn’t know how to take full advantage of it.
