| Hillary's Statement on Palin |
| 2008-08-30 |
| Former Democratic presidential candidate and New York Senator Hillary Clinton responded to the pick, saying, "We should all be proud of Governor Sarah Palin's historic nomination and I congratulate her and Senator McCain. While their policies would take America in the wrong direction, Governor Palin will add an important new voice to the debate." I didn't expect her to be publicly happy about this, but you know she's got to be loving the fact that Obama and the rest of the good ol' boys in the DNC are squirming... |

| #20 Proof positive: that gracious 'Job Well Done, Senator' ad he ran on the last day of the DNC convention. That was masterful. McCain's criticism of Obama built to a crescendo just prior to Obama's speech, finally reaching "dangerously inexperienced" the day before The One gave his sermon at the temple. And just as Obama reveals himself as more of the same by going after McCain hammer-and-tong we're treated to a smiling McCain congratulating Obama on his historic achievement. Then the next day McCain drops the one candidate the Dems have no effective means of dealing with into the race. McCain has always been known as a closer but I've never really paid close attention to his campaigns before. It's obvious that his ability to close is no accident, writ large on a national stage it appears downright poetic. At least thus far. |

| #18 Of course, it's quite possible he was thanking Obama for dissing HRC and thereby giving him the opening he'd been seeking. LOL |

| #17 McCain is a cruel cruel man. (lol) He already KNEW what was to come "tomorrow" when he spoke those words. |

| #16 McCains Job Well Done ad is likely to be the best ad we'll see this election. Grace with a touch of humor. It was the political version of whipped cream with a cherry on top. |

| #14 And the quasi-endorsement from Hillary made me think of some old NGFS terminology: "No change, no change...fire for effect!" |

| #13 Damn...old Johnny Mac really is inside the Messiah's OODA loop! AzCat said it best yesterday: "Is it just me or is McCain running one of the canniest campaigns in recent memory over the last month or so? If I didn't know better I'd swear that Bill Clinton and Karl Rove were holed up in an office somewhere calling the shots." |

| #11 Interesting development for Hillary: Having Palin as VP and considering McCain's age the CW that he is one termer - isn't this a double whammy for Hillary? Lets assume in 2012 that Palin is Rep. nominee and lets also assume the economy grew, housing crisis resolves, there is more domestic drilling and refining (ie lower gas prices), Iraq is an irrelevant side show, we find OBL's skeleton, etc. - would the Dem's really turn to Hillary to run against a female Presidential nominee now with more experience? |

| #9 "Little known fact: Sarah Palin makes Andrew Sullivan regret some key life choices." This line from Sarah Palin Facts gets my vote for Snark O'the Day! |

| #6 Sarah Palin isnÂ’t allowed to wield the gavel at the convention because theyÂ’re afraid sheÂ’ll use it to kill liberals. Hehehe.... |
