Those Machiavellian Republicans

Sarah Palin: Alaskan "hockey mom" (five children, youngest with Down's Syndrome), pro-life, NRA member, PTA member, mayor, corruption fighter, governor, husband a fisherman and oil field production operator (member of the United Steel Workers)--as well as current and four-time winner of the "Iron Dog" 2,000 mile snowmobile race, son soon to be serving with the US Army in Iraq...

John McCain has not nominated someone who just pushes a few buttons; Sarah Palin pounds a whole keyboard. Indeed she paid tribute in her brief speech to Hillary Clinton (and Geraldine Ferraro). But she does say I-raq and I-ran...

Mark C.
