Nor can I. If Biden's performance this morning is any indication, he's in for a rude awakening. Old Joe's always been full of shit, but falling back on the Karl Rove bugaboo was simply preposterous.



Ummm. No.

Look closely at what Biden did. He gave her faint praise and said she would be a good debater. He is raising the bar high for the debates so she will fall hard.

The only reason some people are so positive about her speech was because expectations were so low.

I found Palin's speech cynical, disengenious, and devoid of any kind of positive message. Yeah, it was plenty of red meat and she made the home team estatic. But I get the feeling she turned off just as many independents and "thoughtful" Republicans.

She also insulted community organizers across the nation. JimB, I recall you mentioning that you did some voter registrations in "depressed" neighborhoods. She just spit in your face. And the people you tried to reach out to are clearly of no interest to her (or the current Republican party).

And the irony is, she's not her "own woman" here. She is the mouthpeice for the Bush/Cheney/NeoCon/Fundamentalist wing of the Republican party. They wrote that speech and she delivered it with her smug demeanor.

She might do well in a JOMG (jizz on my glasses) episode, though.

And take some time out and try to catch one of Barack's town halls. Plenty of specifics and a very keen grip on a diverse set of issues. The details of his plans can always be found on the barackobama.com website.
