Interesting thoughts.
Sarah, we're not that different, you and I.
"I've been thinking a lot about this nomination and rewatching the videos of Palin's interview. Honestly, it's all made me tremendously sad. There are lot of us lefties who are guffawing right now and are happy to see Palin seemingly stumbling drunkenly from occasional interview to occasional interview. I may have been one of them. But I'm out of that group now."
I don't feel sad or sympathy for Palin - she made her choice.
But I definitely wonder why she did it - I mean what did she really think would happen. I learned early in my working life - that it's far better to be honest - if you don't know something, or don't know how to do something - say so.
Don't bullshit on your ability - because you'll always get caught out.
And this is high stakes - and Palin's getting caught out in front of everyone.
I think even the GOP and the most faithful are seeing that.
