Being the mirror image of Free Republic isn't exactly progress, Kos.
Do you think the Palin pick was a game changer, whether good or bad, and how do you think this will affect the election long-term?
There's no doubt that it was a game changer. All you have to do is go to Daily Kos and see that we haven't written about McCain in a week now, right? It's a singular obsession with Palin. She's the gift that keeps on giving. To me, it seems pretty obvious that McCain wanted [Tom] Ridge or [Joe] Lieberman but he's too weak within his own party to get the candidate he wanted, so he had to go with someone to appease the right wing.
They saw that Obama was going to be able to rally the Clinton supporters with Hillary Clinton's help. They probably saw Obama's speech and saw how incredible and dynamic and how powerful it was and realized that a safe pick wasn't going to give them any hope of victory in November so they had to shake things up. They threw a Hail Mary with Sarah Palin, they didn't vet her, so they had no clue who she was. They saw that she was attractive and very popular in Alaska -- remember, Alaska is actually a swing state. It was in play; Obama was competitive in the polls. So they locked down Alaska. And she's clearly popular with the right and they've embraced her because of her radical right-wing views on the role of religion in government, and it completely, utterly, on that Friday, took Obama off the airwaves.
Well, Kos, does ANYBODY even remember that sorry excuse for a speech? They didn't "vet" her, yet Obama was NEVER VETTED.
It is HILARIOUS to think right-wing Alaska, almost as red a state as Idaho and Utah, was considered to be in "play" for Democrats before Palin was nominated. What absolutely delusional shit is this?
Once Obama goes down in the trash bin of American history, the party will HAVE to purge themselves of people like this who do NOTHING for Democrats at all.

I'm confused; Freerepublic advocates assassination of Democrats and Liberals. Dailykos writes a thoughful but critical post on Palin and you find the two comparable? For god sakes, Susan, you don't have a good track record of predictions and analysis. Remember when you thought John Edwards would be President in 04? Then in 08? Accept you're wrong and support your fellow Dems so you can get the national healtcare you (and me) so want.
