you know, ace, if the election season were not an element of this, and all the figures were in a schoolyard or something like that, maybe i'd agree with you--and there's a way in which i do to the extent that i think about folk like palin as a human being---but the fact is that much of what's happening seems to me shaped by the strategies that the mc-cain campaign has chosen to adopt. so there's a degree of you reap what you sow in all this.
and it doesn't seem to me the sort of situation--the campaign strategy that the mc-cain camp has adopted--that you can factor out, even if you support mc-cain. it seems disengenous to try it.
