>Yeah, I know I'm going out on a limb but I have been saying, quite ardently (lol), that this was going to happen, haven't I? I'm using the same reasoning I used for Howard Dean in 2004. I knew he'd never be the nominee for the same reason - he was *too* much of a change.

>On a related note, I overheard a disturbing conversation in the checkout line at the grocery store today. Some guy saw a magazine cover with Palin on it and started telling his wife that he had heard that she wasn't even the mother of the youngest baby, that her 17 year old daughter was. The way these people talked and the observation that the man's wife didn't even know who Palin was led me to believe that they weren't exactly politically astute but, I suppose, the evil and erroneous rumors propagated by leftists last week may have gained some traction. That could counter the other trend if common.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
