Comments on: Emergency Call for Palinectomy http://politicsandpress.com/2008/emergency-call-for-palinectomy/ The interaction of the press and politics; public diplomacy, and daily absurdities.

She is the eternal cheerleader, who can't believe (or reason) that high school is over. She thinks winking at her husband during a major debate will sway the "fence sitters" to her and MCcain. She is the girl (in high school) who dated and then married the "cute" quarterback. She is the middle aged woman who wishes that she were still in high school and still on the catwalk showing off swimsuits. In classical literature she would be the court jester, the fool, Der Knarr (German). In a way she reminds me of The Joker from Batman, eternal smile (grimace)on her face, yet behind it something lurking, unknown, ready to be unleashed once power is attained.

Fasten your seatbelts and put the barf bucket next to the TV. Hope is a good thing, he says, hopefully.....

The only consolation is the McCain's poll numbers *right now* are substantially below Obama's, although the McCain campaign is promising that it is going to start "taking the gloves off", read engage in smear politics. Apparently we'll be seeing a lot of the Reverend Wright and Ayers in the next 30 days. Another bright spot is that among CNN's focus group during the debates, a group of self-declared independents right in my back yard, more and more keep falling out of the group because the debates make them decide to vote for Obama. And did you notice that, per that annoying running graph at the bottom of the CNN screen, women, the classic "independent voters," registered very high for Biden and very low for Palin's folksy, "cute" little comments that made this viewer's flesh crawl. As I noted before, hope springs eternal.... Oh how true, how true, Jeff!
