I just happened to see the thread he was on when the announcement was leaked.
He was so angry he was spitting. How dare he not pick the obvious choice (pissant's preference)!!!
He had a dozen of the most spite filled posts I've seen to date on that thread. Sort of reminds me of what's going on today, he was quite the forerunner. And quite the head case.
Yep... I remember that well. He despised Palin from then on.
