    Wow. Simply wow. And wrong too about the conclusion, which was obviously massaged to allow him to make his greater point.

    Moddy, I don't think the moose would vote for Palin. She'd probably shoot them on the way to the voting booth.

    And I'll reiterate my earlier point again. Sarah Barracuda can't have it both ways: either she is a total lightweight who can't take verbal sparring from Joe Biden (never mind what awaits her on a world stage) or she isn't.

    If that was true, she would have won. I know you can't possibly think that all women are so easily swayed.

    I'll grant you that the timing is exquisite and completely sucked the air out of last night's hoopdedoo. We'll see how it plays out in the days ahead.

    FWIW, I just got done talking to the biggest Hillary backer I know, one who was crushed when she lost and more than a little mad that Obama had beaten her. She told me at the time that she'd probably come around to Obama, but not right away.

    She said this pick by McCain made her furious, and it amounted to him saying, "Hey, she's a woman, and all women are the same, right?"

    She said it was insulting to Hillary and insulting to her.

    Be a different story if McCain had picked say Romney or Ridge- It would have further energized the Krat base and slammed the breaks on any hopes of McCain winning
     
  12. And Joe Biden has been senator from a state almost as small as Alaska, with the same number of electoral votes.

    Ho-hum.
