>What I find of concern is her barbed little tongue, which she displayed in her speech. Perhaps McCain chose her to be his pit bull with lipstick so he didn't have to sully himself. That would be disappointing. I had hoped he would try to rally the US to address its present problems together, not bring four more years of Karl Rove type politics. The US cannot afford four more years of that.

Of course I agree with that, although we have survived eight years of it. And BTW, if McCain's campaign seems more Roveian after all the talk of keeping to the high road, there's a reason for it. They did a major staff shakeup a few months ago and brought in several Rove aides in key roles, including campaign manager Steve Schmidt.
