Palin "clueless"
 

"Capitol Hill sources are telling me that senior McCain people
are more than concerned about Palin."

"The campaign has held a mock debate and a mock press conference; both are being described as "disastrous." One senior McCain aide was quoted as saying, "What are we going to do?" The McCain people want to move this first debate to some later, undetermined date, possibly never. People on the inside are saying the Alaska Governor is "clueless."

The source is Andrew Sullivan. Enough said.

EDIT: Oops, it's worse than that. This comes from Ed Shultz, liberal talk radio host. Great job, Cali! Why not just link straight to DailyKos, eh?

They're just making sure she knows who was president in 1929.

It's not so bad when you consider Biden hasn't learned it in 35 years.

By the way, did you love in the debate how when McCain criticized Obama's foreign policy record as US Senator, the very first thing Obama did was cite his VP pick? He conceded the point with his first sentence. Hilarious.

I can't wait for the VP debate.

Assuming it doesn't get canceled that is.

VP debates are important why?

The sad thing about Palin is that Americans are likely more interested in seeing Tina Fey playing Palin on TV than watching the real Sarah Palin on TV.

Actually, the sad thing about Americans is that they would rather watch tina fey than watch Gov. Palin.

Fey has better comedic chops, has a hit comedy on TV, was the head wrtier on SNL and did Weekend Update for years, had a hit movie in Mean Girls, has an AmEx commercial, and has a hotness to her that is only enhanced by her refusal to discuss the origins of her facial scar.

Palin......well, she is busy looking for answers so she can get back to Katie Couric at a future date.

Here's a more reliable source on "inside the McCain campaign" then a rabid leftist radio talk show host, Bill Kristol:

We can only hope. Will all due respect to the brainless "Palin is an idiot" crowd (read: no respect at all), I really don't understand the "mute Palin" effort.

How come she at the very least hasn't done the conservative talk show circuit? Medved, Limbaugh, Hannity (radio), Hewitt? Those are friendly venues where she could shore up support among the base, one of the primary reasons she was brought on board.

McCain's camp has made a tactical error here, but it's reparable.

And I really hate what Kristol reports next:

Huh? "Old-fashioned"? Ugh, I'm going to need Pepto on election night, no matter who wins. McCain can be such an idiot sometimes. Kristol continues:

Which is the point I made yesterday about the debate. Obama is Liberalism On Parade. Note to McCain: EMPHASIZE THIS. Americans don't like liberalism ... why oh why did we nominate a presidential candidate who wants to make friends with it?
