08 Jan 2008 10:17 pm

Needlenose:

Her "last dog dies" moment yesterday helped her as I thought it would, albeit more quickly (I guess wall-to-wall TV coverage trying to turn it into her "Dean scream" may have been an unintended advantage).

And it implies that whoever wins the Democratic nomination in 2008 will have had to earn it. Which is probably a good thing.

Yes, that is a good thing. If Obama wins in the end. <g>.

• The Utter Arrogance Of It
• Do you really believe that Sarah Palin understands the distinctions between Shia and Sunni, has an opinion about the future of Pakistan, has a view of how to exploit rifts within Tehran's leadership, and knows about the tricky task of securing loose nuclear weapons?
• He'd Met Her Once!
• Palin isn't the issue here. McCain's judgment is. It's completely off the wall. Is there something wrong with him?
• A War-Time Vice-President?
• She may be a fine person, but she's my age, she has zero Washington experience, and no foreign policy expertise whatsoever. McCain has just told us how seriously he takes the war we are in. Not seriously at all.
• Change Over Experience
• McCain has decided that he cannot win on the experience card, so he is trying to pick the change card.
• The Hope We Confess
• If the Rove Republicans thought they were playing with a patsy, they just got a reality check.
