IMA FRY ME UP SUM ROOSKIES

So, OK: Vladimir Putin is possibly plotting an air strike against the U.S.? Is there any other way to interpret what she said here? (Sorry for the pre-roll ad; I just parrot what Gruber links to, man.)

I look forward to my masochistic side making me feel oddly disappointed when these destructive, demented dead-enders lose. (If they win, I'm going to go, like, shitting-into-bell-jars crazy.)

The Republicans are making a huge gamble here, that their voters are so out of touch that they would never see this interview anyway. They are counting on people voting for them because Palin is a pretty face. Anyone voting because of *actual politics* already made their decision 4 years ago.

Part of the tragedy of this election cycle is that, four years ago, a lot of self-identifying moderates and centrists (including myself) thought McCain was pretty cool. I'm on record as having hoped that Kerry would choose him as a running mate. As recently as a couple of years ago, I was actively hoping that we'd one day see a McCain presidency with a Democractic-controlled Congress.

All this was before he revealed himself to be willing to sink to any depth to gain office. Suffice it to say that I have lost nearly all my respect for him and his party since those days.

The RNC gambled that energizing their base with Palin would add to their vote count, while McCain would gather up the independents.

But it looks like Palin is alienating the independents instead, and McCain isn't doing so well with luring them back. At this rate, McCain will be lucky to have his 30% come November -- much of the RNC base still dislikes McCain.
