OK OK this may seem to be piling on. But just consider how close this could have been. Consider that Sarah Palin COULD have been a heartbeat from the presidency. *shudder* I have written extensively about the Palin clan on franksblog. This whole thing is disturbing like the Cuban missile crisis. A rogue evangelical militant with REAL power. *shudder* HERE is video of a FOX news guy reporting on things he knew, but was forbidden to say out loud. She was at odds with her handlers and apparently went on her own with the “paling around with terrorists” riff, read about it HERE. The computers of BOTH campaigns were hacked by foreign hackers, Sarah Palin went nuts at upscale clothing stores across the country, even charging up low level staffer’s credit cards for tens of thousands of dollars, and it appears that John McCain was kept in the dark……JEEZE.
John McCain ran one of the worst campaigns in history, and Barack Obama ran one of the best. It wasn’t smart to hire lobbyist Rick Davis to head up Mccain’s effort, it definitly wasn’t smart to run with Sarah Palin. Are the McCain campaign geniouses just looking for someone to blame for their crushing defeat? It’s not unusual for Republicans to try to dodge blame for their own actions. BUT there have been those who say that she IS the new Republican party. Those of us who broadcast or write about politics can only pray that they are right.

as a political cartoonist I am sad to see Mrs. Palin fade out of national news rotation..

Oh, I think we will have Ms Palin around for a LOOOOONNNG time. She won’t go away, she’s the gift that keeps on giving, and giving and giving.
