11. It's just a post-convention bump.

Every candidate, even Bob Dole, receives 'em.

But you can't tell DUers that. No, it's the end of the fucking world.

12. The Rude Pundit put it in perspective well today

From his post today, comparing the Palin hoopla to the hoopla over John Edwards as Kerry's pick in 2004:

Now the point here is not the hypocrisy of the right. That's just a given. It's that one of the reasons for the attack on Edwards was that Republicans were shitting themselves that Kerry had chosen the smooth-talking, good-looking man of the people. Bush's camp even predicted (in that raising expectations way) that the choice would give the Democrats a 15-point lead initially in the polls.

The point here is "How did that work out?" Edwards, in the end, had little or no effect on the election. He elicited excitement and wrath at first because, although better-known nationally than Palin was when she was chosen by McCain, he was a fairly unknown quantity (there was even talk about how now he'd be vetted more by the media). He was meant to be a complement to the experienced, older Kerry, a reverse Bush-Cheney, if you will.

The problem with all the hand-wringing over how the choice of Sarah Palin shows up the inexperience of Barack Obama is it's a distraction. The difference is easy. Barack Obama was chosen by voters and delegates after months of primaries and caucuses. Sarah Palin was chosen by John McCain alone. In other words, say what you will about comparable experiences, but millions of people looked at Obama's experience and said, "Yeah, him."

10. Oh dear.

I see this as well:

"Religion Remains Major Dividing Factor Among White Voters
September 5, 2008
John McCain’s lead over Barack Obama among highly religious white voters, currently 65% to 26%, has been quite stable all summer and has not yet changed with the selection of Sarah Palin as his vice-presidential running mate."

They should refine that to the bottom line: "highly religious white voters, who will force everyone else through law to follow their ideas, both financial and religious."

Please post this over in GD-P. The amount of frictional heat generated from all of the hand-wringing over there is actually contributing to global warming.
