Sally Quinn: I have been talking to some seriously hlgh-powered Republicans and they are appalled by the choice of Sarah Palin.
So some GOPs whine, too. I bet we could name some of these “high-powered Rs.”
Unfortunately Charles Krauthammer is one of them
Christine Todd Whitman was giving reign to her dismay at the Republican convention, as were some Republican delegates from NY State. Also, Peggy Noonan, Charles Krauthammer, probably David Brooks. All those who want to "take back" the Republican Party in the direction of "moderation." They lost big time in the VP selection.
That’s all right there are some rinos out there who will very shortly be up for ertirement....
Funny, I know some seriously high-powered Democrats who aren't too choked up about Obama or Biden, either.
Well, choosing Sarah is not like picking Harriet Myers for USSCt. Sarah has been a mayor and a governor so is emminently qualified for VP slot. Clinton, Carter, Dukakis, Reagan and GWB used being Governors as their primary calling card.
