Reading that Palin is pro-life, pro intelligent design, and does not believe there is global warming sums up three points that cannot be conceded in this or any election.
People that do not want to have an abortion can choose to not have an abortion. No one is being forced to have abortions.
Although evolution is a scientific theory, people who do not believe in evolution are welcome to have their religious beliefs aired. Do not expect the rest of the world to believe that religious symbolism equals science. Let's keep science and religion separate.
You are welcome to not believe that there is global warming but do not try to stand in the way of the green revolution. Buy your SUV and buy $10 gas, that's fine, no one will prevent you from doing this.
When GM went down to $9 per share, even I bought some.
Yahoo: 6 things the Palin pick says about McCain
1. He’s desperate. Let’s stop pretending this race is as close as national polling suggests. The truth is McCain is essentially tied or trailing in every swing state that matters — and too close for comfort in several states like Indiana and Montana the GOP usually wins pretty easily in presidential races. On top of that, voters seem very inclined to elect Democrats in general this election — and very sick of the Bush years
The Republican brand is a mess.

Nice analysis! The Palin choice is a desperate grabbing of straws for Mccain. The ugly truth is as u say the public gets it and the GOP's brand is a mess. 8 yrs. is enough!
The Palin veneer will wear off in about two weeks. At that point she has to stay out of sight and campaign in Alaska and Montana. She gets points for being bright and folksy when she debates Biden. Biden goes on the attack on McCain in the debate and stays on message. The debate crowd will cheer Palin whenever she opens her mouth and so on TV it appears like she is of substance. The Republicans will say she wins, its clear to everybody else that she is in way over her head because as bright as she is, she can't amass nearly as much information as she needs in order to be seen as the requisite stately. Where have we seen this before.
The meat of the matter will be between Obama - Biden vs McCain. Ultimately Palin will add nothing.
