And Then the Race Got Interesting Again
Aug 29th, 2008 by Micah Tillman | Start the Discussion |
Whatever else McCain’s picking Palin is, says, or does (about anything), it makes the race a few hundred times more interesting.
I wasn’t really looking forward to another week of conventions, and then another month+ of campaigning, especially after Obama’s flop of a speech last night.
But this helps.
UPDATE From Breitbart:
“Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton said in a statement.
And yesterday, the Dems put a never-even-been-a-mayor — much less a governor — with zero foreign policy experience person “closer than a heartbeat away” from the presidency.
Has Obama ever run anything larger than his campaign? And is he even running that?
UPDATE 2: Victor Davis Hanson writes:
We are supposed to believe that a first- term Alaskan governor is less qualified for the second spot than a first-term Illinois Senator is for the Presidency. . . .
And whereas McCain was suggesting that the Presidential nominee was too inexperienced and thus subject to charges of parti[s]anship, now the Obama team will be making just those charges against Palin, and thus by comparison making McCain’s original case against themselves.
