Rock bottom expectations for Sarah Palin pay off!

Last night's [2 Oct 2008] US vice presidential 'debate' won't ruin Sarah Palin's reputation. No one had high expectations for John McCain's running mate. She couldn't not but shine since no one really though much of her to begin with. And she did for the moment. She simply proved once again how untutored she was in matters of state. When she doesn't know the answer, she runs at the mouth, throwing everything and the kitchen sink in to her rapid fire, confused volley of words. The talking heads say that she 'connects' with middle America. She may; then again, she may not. What is certain is that McCain's choice uncovers an Alaskan mother lode of know nothingism which is an endemic strain in nativist Americana. She pumps out like an old church organ the sound bytes of god, country, and mum's apple pie. Knee jerk appel to the basest elements within the body Americana. It's a sorry day for America, her candidacy, and it says much about the devious mind of McCain, revealing his erratic, hip hop character of a weather vane spinning in any direction of the wind of opportunism points him to.
