Juan Williams Democrat talking point of no experience for Sarah Palin will stimulate more comparisons and exposure. Something the Democrats would rather avoid.
LATE EDITION (CNN) : Sen. Christopher Dodd
Interrupted by Ray Nagin “every looter will go directly To Angola Prison”, “go directly to the big house” [free room and board]
Dodd “better preparation than 3 years ago”
“Katrina symbolizes” bush not responding to a major disaster[it’s was the levees breaking the next day, and the lack of evacuation plan being followed(thanks Nagin)]
can site other Republicans “far more qualified”
the choice of “Dobson, Lawson, and Limbaugh”[and that’ll go for the rest of the informed too]
Thanks TX.
Obama is ready because the DBM likes him personally for their own bias.
Palin is not ready because she is too much like the majority of america.
Kitchen table america vs effete elites
This must have been what it was like when colonials had to deal with idiotic torries.
I’ve heard several commentaries today that Palin is govenor of one of the smallest states in the nation. Yes, the population is sparse, but the state she governs is the largest land mass in the country, larger than the next three largest states (Texas, California, and Montana) combined plus South Dakota.
I would think governing a state of that size requires considerable executive skills. In fact, the isolated nature of many of the towns in the state must introduce problems most governors never have to deal with, as does the extreme weather the state must deal with.
She was so professional none of the rats dared attack her.
NBC has no credibility left. Brokaw and friends have destroyed it.
MCC is a conservative, she says it openly but then she was talking to John Harwood after the Palin speech on Friday and said she was a supporter of Hillary, they went to the same school. What does that mean? She supported Hillary over Obama? Teh what? She was going to support her over McCain?
a recent Mark Steynism:
"the only thing Obama has run is his mouth"
McCain picking Palin has flustered many Dem pundits.
.
Some ‘men’ are really having problems too, us fiscally conservative men are ok with it
Fred Thompson on woof woof— “Palin has 13 years experience in govt.”
I guess Wolfie coundn’t be bothered to ask if Dodd is worried about a corruption fighter from Alaska being on the ticket, given that Dodd took a sweatheart mortgage from Countrywide. Palin might inspire someone from Connecticut to run for higher office and take on Dodd’s corruption the way Palin took on Ted Stephens.
I thought George Will might jump across the table at what Sam Donaldson said. Donaldson wisely shut up.
As much as they try to deny it, Sarah Palin has a resume and background that will relate to the majority of voters in November. Let alone she’s an admitted hockey mom.
I wonder how many ex-Republicans are returning to the party?
Yes, if Sarah Palin stumbles it will be bad for McCain. I don’t expect that to happen, contrary to what the pundit class wants, but it could happen. But, as William Kristol said was “what if she doesn’t stumble?” If Sarah Palin does well, she will change the landscape of politics for years to come.
my “problem” might occure IF and only IF she turns out to be a quota queen. I don’t see that with a mother of five with sons.
Compared to Biden, McCain is now looking youthful. Compared to Brokaw, McCain appears youthful. McCain does not seem like a Grumpy Old Man like Sam Donaldson, Biden or Blowkaw.
Yeah well that won't happen now will it.
every time something Reaganesque happens with regards to politics, a giant awakes as if of one mind.
It is simply moral clarity eliminating the waste land of moral realitivism.
Great post.
