That’s the word from some of her fan base who are–one-hundred-nine (and counting) pages worth of mostly complaints here–incensed at the queen of tears’ decision not to invite Sarah to her crying couch, like she did with Obambi before she endorsed him. Although Sarah is much too upbeat for Oprah’s trademark tears and whining. See what messin’ in politics can do for you, Oprah? Cost you money and credibility, that’s what. There’s even a petition to the gal from Kosciusko, MS.

It’s not a surprise, but it’s nice to see confirmed what Sarah’s common touch means: that many women see themselves in her and want her in the White House. This piece sums it up very well, despite the reporter’s inevitable digs at Mac, the man who made it possible by choosing her.
Could the New York City Democrat have evaded taxes for twenty years because he’s the reigning pecksniff of the Congressional Black Caucus? Looks like it. Especially when he helps write the tax code for you and me who would get busted for a felony, no questions asked or excuses taken. Off to jail with us.

It wasn’t as good as Palin’s, alas. Thank goodness she’s on the same ticket, which is more than enough for some previous Mac doubters. Because, after all, she wouldn’t be there without Mac’s vision and wisdom.
But I enjoyed watching and hearing him. The establishment media covers him so rarely–and never his wealthy wife, a genuinely interesting and admirable person. The POW stuff, which the big-whoop media meisters are bound to complain about, as they always do (it must make them nervous since few of them have served) was powerful and he has the right to use it. It was a good exemplar of the fundamental difference between him and his opponent, and of his brand of patriotism. It also demonstrates, as he suggested, why he is not at all the war-monger the Dems like to paint him. At the same time it shows why our enemies will have to be wary of his resolve, making him much less likely to have to widen the war we’re already in.
UPDATE: It seems that Mac’s speech outdrew Baby Barry’s on teevee viewers. Good for him. And reading the speech, at the link above, I’ve changed my mind. It was better than Palin’s. He knows more. How could it not have been? A young independent more or less agrees.
Alan Sullivan, the Seablogger, is a good writer and thinker. I don’t always agree with him, but I always enjoy reading him. But this time he outdid his usual good work, so I’m posting it. An excerpt:
"The cultural contrasts of Obama and McCain are stark enough, but those of Palin and Obama are even more revealing, because these two are contemporaries: their clash will define America in the Twenty-First Century, while Biden and McCain are figures from a receding past. From this point on, it will really be Palin versus Obama. And she will win, because she is a formed and grounded grownup, while Obama is only a character in his own memoir."
Read the whole thing. Unless you dislike Palin. In which case, what are you doing here?

It’s amusing to read the oh-so-troubled quotes from the seculars who get their panties in a twist whenever someone appeals to the Supreme Being, particularly when they link soldiers and deity in the same sentence.
Mrs. Palin does it in a church youth fellowship video the establishment media thugs at MSNBC have scarfed up for their next round of Sarah-bashing. These people really are running scared. They prove it by not reading their own polls, which show that three-quarters of Americans are believers whether they attend services or not.
So urging the believing youngsters to pray "that our leaders — that our national leaders — are sending [soldiers] out on a task that is from God,” as Sarah apparently says in the video, is just common sense. Unless you’re a secular media heavy who gets all squirmey at the thought of anyone believing in a higher power than you.
Even Baby Barry prays to be "an instrument of God’s will," though his church bashes whitey.
