#1 Yes, he gets it.

If Sarah Palin succeeds as a national candidate, she could help John McCain proceed to a reform Presidency. Even if he loses while she does well, she could emerge as a major figure in GOP politics for years to come. This is why the media and political classes are so eager to discredit her. They can't let it happen.

If Palin really was a bad choice for the GOP wouldn't a good Democrat keep his mouth shut and grin?

You know, like most of us did when Obama chose Biden. {8^)

#3 "They have a tradition of nominating fun, bantamweight cheerleaders from the West."

Oh, you mean like Dick Cheney? Or, how about Dick Nixon? George Bush, Sr.?

What in the hell is she talking about? The only GOP VP nominee that was ever called lightweight was Quayle but he was from Indiana which is east of the Mississippi the last time I looked. But I guess if you're Maureen Dowd and you never get out of Manhattan even Indiana is "the West".

#5 "... a good Democrat keep his mouth shut and grin?"

Unrealistic. The democrat party has almost no one who can keep their yappers shut.

#9 The left does seem to have its collective panties in a wad over Palin. She must be causing them a lot of heartburn if they are this excited.
