If ever I needed proof that McCain's little red trolley has run off the tracks, it's his nomination of Palin for Veep.
Apparently convinced that all Clinton supporters will vote for anything with boobs, he has decided to woo liberal feminist Democrats away from the party by nominating an anti-choice, anti-gay rights, anti-environment, anti-science woman. Basically, a woman who stands against anything Clinton stands for.
Having shot himself in the foot with the Clinton supporters, he's put a bullet in the other foot by bringing a woman into the party that has already had some horrifically sexist things to say about women in politics and who has a fraction of the political experience of Obama... which is already too little for McCain.
And just to ice the cake - he's restoring dignity to office by nominating someone about to come under investigation.
Way to go, McCain.
On the other hand, I'm pretty sure I woke up in an alternate reality. Pat Buchanan raving with praise for Obama? A female VP nomination from the Republicans?
