Let the Palin bashing begin
One of my contentions has been that a McCain loss would be blamed on Palin - not by McCain himself (he handled the loss with aplomb and 2000 style class last night) but by his advisers. I’ll document these as they occur.
They plucked this woman from obscurity, frothed her up in front of the world and are now going to relegate her to being a B-list celebrity and comedic reference.
