Sarah and John

Well, I'm impressed.

Apparently she can deliver a speech, and do so with style and gusto. If John McCain wanted a pit bull who can provide personal attacks and distraction, he's got one.

In the henchmen attacks of Giulani and Romney, he's got people who are willing to slam down their own brand of vilification, smears, and outright lies. So much for the integrity of the political process.

If they can just keep McCain wrapped in the flag long enough; if they can just distract people from the barren cupboard of thoughts that constitute their policies by focusing on personal attacks and sideshow hectoring; if they can keep folks from learning about real-world opposing opinons (whoops, more) from those who had to live with the results of those policies; and, most of all, if they can just rely on what they obviously believe is the mindless and memoryless stupidity of the American people -- then they can win.

In which case, may God have mercy on our country.
