In watching Ted Knight last night (Bill O'Reilly) he had Larry Sabato on and to see the condescending attitude they both displayed toward Palin bordered on sexist. It was almost to the point of the both of them patting her on the head and saying "There, there go along and be a nice little girl, we know things better than you!" Personally, it's a great pick for several reasons.
1. It interjects a view point from 51% of the population. You may not agree with her viewpoints, but if the Dems try to downplay her achievements or her positions on virtually any campaign issue, they seriously run the risk of trying to pull a Hillary II in silencing her. The old saying of Hell having no fury like a woman scorned comes to mind.
2. The liberal media (Press and TV) has to walk a very fine line on confronting her. (See #1.),
3. NOW has to walk a very fine line on confronting her. They wanted a woman in the White House, just not a conservative one. Any attacks on her can unite women.,
4. Biden has to treat her with respect, any tact to compare her with the Bush Administration is void because she represents a fresh viewpoint based on actual, practical front line experience.....something Biden and BHO do not have., and
5. I enjoy the DUmmies heads exploding
