WHAT'S UP?
I haven't been too happy about the anti-Obama drift of the Associated Press lately but this sort of corrects.
Six Things the Palin Pick Says About McCain.
As it happens, none of them are good. Here are the 'things':
1. McCain is desparate--despite what the current polls show, he is dangerously behind at this state of the race with the gap growing daily2. He’s willing to gamble — bigtime. Let’s face it: This is not the pick of a self-confident candidate3. He’s worried about the political implications of his age and he is overcorrecting.4. He’s not worried about the actuarial implications of his age.4 1/2. This one is sandwiched in the 4th. McCain has made a mockery out of his campaign's longtime contention that Barack Obama is too dangerously inexperienced to be commander in chief.5. He’s worried about his conservative base.6. At the end of the day, McCain is still McCain. People may find him a refreshing maverick, or an erratic egotist. In either event, he marches to his own beat.Read the whole thing. It is very well written. One of the best summaries that I have seen.
I also wondered at the poor stagecraft. 15,000 people and they were trying to distribute tickets up to the last minute. Very confused visuals. Theater in the round again.
Was Cindy there? Or is she still in Georgia? Lost.
Of course, none of this is any of my business. I am a Democrat.
