Palin!?

Sarah Palin!? Are you fucking kidding me. How dumb do they think women are.

I'm looking at this, and looking and looking, and all I can see is that this is a move based on an assumption of the fundamental stupidity of American women voters. You can't have Hillary, so why not vote for an anti-choice woman with wayyyy less experience than Obama? SHE'S GOT THE XX, LADIES, VOTE FOR HER. Never mind that she's apparently being investigated, currently, for abuse of power of the governorship. Jesus.

Kay Bailey Hutchison, now, I woulda been worried. KBH would have been a fucking scary choice for a McCain win. But Palin? She's not a VP. She's barely a VP candidate. Are they even thinking about what happens if (god forbid) they get to the White House? Because all this looks like is a move designed to feed the polls.

The downsbaby makes it thorny. I've seen a few comments on left-blogs about 'betraying her family values' and 'abandoning' the kid to run, but uh, as a line of attack that just makes the left look terrible. Then again, if somehow she or her handlers use the downsbaby as a defense, that could easily make THEM look terrible. I harbor (likely futile) hope that the kid will just not enter the discourse.

Hold on a second...she's using her child for the purpose of self-promotion and she wants to drill for oil in Alaska? I can see where this is going...
