Darkwolf: I was thinking today, after resigning to the fact that Palin is not going to run, that I wanted Palin to run for the same reason that a parent wants their child to accomplish goals that the parent is not capable of achieving. I thought to my self, how selfish to place the weight of the World on Palin,s solders.
Later in the evening I saw her Hannity interview, and I thought to my self, how foolish of me, of course she is running.
Holy cow, that is the best summation of ONE element of her appeal I've ever seen, anywhere.
Indeed, part of me cheers Palin on because I want to see her up there on election night giving a victory speech, while Chris Matthews weeps on TV and Rachel Maddow calls for civil unrest, while I also want to see Palin roll back the damage of Obama and perhaps inspire some backbone in our gutless Republicans.
Of course, my problem comes from the rest of me, not just the part that feels great emotional investment in her winning.
I do think she may have come up with the key concept behind the whole election with crony capitalism. It'll be funny when Obama steals this concept (and he will, just watch) and attempts to co-opt it...hopefully while Congress is looking into his solar panel deal...
