I dunno know, McCain may have may a great move here. I spent some time last night dinking around reading right wing blogs and checking out Fox, Rush, Hannity et el. They all love her. They may not of vetted her much but they spent some serious time on the talking points memos. McCain needed someone to rally his base to get it back to a 49-49 race, she seems to be doing that in spades. On several forums i read comments where people were saying they weren't that thrilled with McCain now, with Palin in there, they're donating. Now the GOP just needs to keep pushing and donating to the anti-Obama 527's and they'll get a few percent of the swings. Then welcome President McCain.
On Morning Joe this morning he held up a copy of the NYT's. They have three negative stories on Palin on the front page this morning (maybe yesterday's?) Joe said this will rally the right wing base like nothing else. They hate the NYT's like the left hates Cheney. The NYT's running neg stories about GOP candidates is one the best fund raisers for that candidate.
The lie about the bridge to nowhere and keeping the money? I haven't heard it anywhere. I have heard the story of her returning the money repeated several times. Right out of the GOP play book, repeat a lie often enough and it will become fact. I'm hoping the Obama camp is waiting for the storms to pass and the GOP convention to end. I'm hoping they're doing a little rope-a-dope just to see how much more rope she'll give them before they hang her out to dry with her own comments and lies. I'm hoping- but I'm still thinking there's a good chance McCain could win this. The good news is even if he wins, even though he's been on Bush's side 90% of the time, I can't imagine him not being better at the job then Bush. Course I could be wrong and he could start telling leaders of foreign countries to go fuck themselves regularly and start bombing countries that pissed him off at any time.
