So, when Sarah Palin was announced last Fri­day, I almost imme­di­ately turned to my wife and said, “Wouldn’t it be funny if they did this just to get the news cycle away from Obama and the Demo­c­ra­tic Con­ven­tion, then pull a switch at the Repub­li­can Con­ven­tion next week?” I’m espe­cially inter­ested because Sam Brown­back, Sen­a­tor from KS, is sup­posed to put Palin’s name into nomination.

Now, I’m not say­ing this was their plan all along, nor am I say­ing that this will hap­pen, but with all the un-vetted bits spilling out of Sarah Palin’s past this week­end, I would not be sur­prised. Cor­rup­tion, incom­pe­tence, inex­pe­ri­ence… it really sounds like they didn’t bother to check on her before pulling the trig­ger (as it were). Like all they did was look at a photo of her. The Democ­rats have clearly made the deci­sion to just get out of the way and watch Repub­li­cans implode.

But really, can you imag­ine the Repub­li­can First Cou­ples eat­ing din­ner together? I mean, John and his “soul­mate” would be fine, but what would Cindy and the First Dude talk about?

    Well if The Dude can talk his way into Palin’s suit pants, surely he can work his way through Cindy’s drug-induced haze long enough for the Prez and Veep to solve the Iraq prob­lem. Make mine medium rare.…

    You sound so bit­ter. Were you hop­ing the Repub­li­cans would put up more of a fight?

    I don’t think they’ve begun to fight. The upcom­ing con­ven­tion should keep The Dai­lyKos and HuffPo in mate­r­ial for the rest of the year, easy.

    I had read that Rove nixed McSames VP pick Lieber­man so he got des­per­ate and went with a long shot to spite Rove. I guess we will see what BO does with this rhetoric from the con­ven­tion. Palin seems like the antithe­sis of fem­i­nis­tic thought. She is being com­pared to a dog by the RNC. That’s real thought­ful. I’m sure Nov 4th will end with the Supremes mak­ing another deci­sion for the peo­ple. Either Florida or Ohio I would imag­ine will get all tied up. With some states going with­out a voter receipt recalls won’t always be pos­si­ble. Or maybe the peo­ple will actu­ally start mak­ing sense for a change and vote for Obama. I thought the RNC Con­ven­tion was devoid of life in all aspects. Bush who? The press is sure anemic.

    Soul mate.” Still shak­ing my head about that one. I’m afraid of Americans.
