Heh, I guess I was right without even meaning to be. I'm brilliant! And I didn't have to change my mind three times, either.

Palin is a mistake. A cute mistake, but a mistake all the same.

Why do you all take these rumors like gospel? It would make a lot of sense if Palin were just a diversion.

On the other hand, she will deliver Alaska.

Hold up. I thought last week you said Romney was the diversion?

I was kind of on the fence* about who I was going to vote for, but if McCain picks Palin he's got my vote. This woman has a better grasp of what America needs in the way of energy policy than either of the two candidates.

And, all modesty aside, as landpoke goes, so goes Wyoming.




*The two sides of the fence being McCain and whatever wackjob the libertarians have put up for election.

She'll talk circles around Obama and Bidan. This should be fun.

My fear too but I doubt it because she's a woman. This is kind of a dream ticket for me. I'm really excited.

I don't put much stock in her supposed social coservatism. As we've seen, true, committed social conservativm is the province of furmpy white men.

Excellent question. We'll find out very soon. A risky pick in that there is no margin for error.
