Incidentally, to blame Pelosi for Hillary’s loss, rather than Hillary’s own manifest, serial missteps and exceedingly poor judgement in putting together and managing her campaign team and strategy, is truly bonkers.

“Hate…” – I’m dead certain that Lyda Green could reasonably be called a “bitch” – the problem with that radio interview is that for Palin to giggle- particularly with the the “cancer” attached to the shock-jock crap – rather than redeem the distasteful moment says more about Palin than it says about Green. Beyond that, you’re off on your own little trip and it’s not worth bothering to comment.

Sarah: Any woman who participated in Ã¢â‚¬Å“beauty contestsÃ¢â‚¬Â in the late Ã¢â‚¬â„¢70s and early Ã¢â‚¬â„¢80s where women are paraded around like pieces of USDA beef does not deserve to be president of the United States.

Do you feel similar about a perky college cheerleader who flaunted her body and smile in front of tens of thousands in the 1960’s, but who is a journalist today?

Lyda Green IS a bitch, just like Nancy Pelosi was to Hillary. Nothing bitchier than a “feminista” of a certain age who’s happy to help up a little sister as long as she’s way down on the rungs, but let her come close to her or bypass her and she’s got her leg out trying to trip her up and knock her down. Nancy’s jealousy endeavored to ensure Hillary didn’t get the nod — remember how she kept trying to push her out earlier, and mobilized the delegates to support Obama even when Hillary was winning elections — and she set the rules of this game, to see how low each side could go in “experience” in favor of “change.” Nancy sacrificed a sure success for her party — all polls showed Hillary/Obama a winning ticket — for personal reasons.

McCain made a mistake in playing by Pelosi/Howard Dean’s rules, instead of picking a more qualified, unknown female or Condi. Another middle-aged or older white guy wouldn’t have cut it, would have seemed too boring on the face of it. (Wonder if he ever approached Condi?) The ones that other bitch Boxer suggests should have been picked ARE those that might have taken some Hillary votes, but not the right-wing, evangelicals and blue-collars McCain’s weak on.

Bush was the governor of Texas and it taught him nothing on how to run this country.Candidate Bush seem to not much care or know about foreign affairs when he was running for President. Palin is the governor of state with the population of 700,000.I live in Michigan and that is the population of our largest city Detroit..Palin does know anything or seem to care about foreign affairs like Bush.Palin is the woman version of Bush and look how well that has worked out for this country.

Top Alaska Republicans on Palin:

“She’s not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?” said Lyda Green, the president of the State Senate, a Republican from Palin’s hometown of Wasilla. “Look at what she’s done to this state. What would she do to the nation?”

Another top Republican, John Harris, the speaker of the House, when asked about her qualifications for Veep, replied with this: “She’s old enough. She’s a U.S. citizen.”

Palin is a game-changer:

Rasmussen – Among undecideds, the Palin pick made only 6 percent more likely to vote for McCain; and it made 31 percent less likely to vote for him. 49 percent said it would have no impact, and 15 percent remained unsure. More to the point: among undecideds, 59 percent said Palin was unready to be president. Only 6 percent said she was. (Daily Dish)

The Palin pick was an unexpected move to shake the race up. If the McCain campaign had been satisfied by the current trajectory of the campaign, Romney or Pawlenty would have been tapped. Instead McCain went for a higher risk/higher reward choice, in the hopes that the history making move will help re-establish his maverick identity and appeal to voters excited about the idea of a woman on the ticket. In exchange, McCain ceded the experience argument against Obama and brought questions about his own health and age into play. Governor Palin has a compelling biography but has never been in the national spotlight. Much will depend on her actual performance — she better know who the President of Georgia is in time for the first journalist’s pop quiz — and on what the media’s vetters and the Obama campaign find when they arrive in Alaska.
