Washington Post's Cilliza: McCain's pick will refinforce his image as a "reformer"

[Martinucho]

But how is picking a woman who stands for everything Bush stands a "reform"?

Palin is an anti-choice big-oil buddy right-winger.

Can we be so narrow-minded as to claim that the simple fact that a woman has been chosen VP nominee, regardless of her positions, can bring change to the country?

The "reformer" narrative is likely to grow legs, in my opinion.

1. Cillizza is a jerk

nuff'said

[Virginia Dare]

2. A right wing fundie is a reformer?

what's he talking about the "Reformation"?

I've never hard a salient point come out of that guy's mouth BTW.

3. A woman 'must' be a 'reformer' just as a lot of folks...

here see Obama as 'more progressive than Feingold'.

Reality is more complicated.

4. Yeah, with guys like Charlie Black riding shotgun with him

McCain's all over the map with his campaign strategy generally and with the reform issue in particular. Obama is well set up as an outsider with a proven commitment to ethics on this front.

5. Cilizza is a hack. He tries being stealth about it but for the most part,

he just cannot help himself.

[Bleacher Creature]

6. Try -- "McCain's pick will reinforce Cilliza's image as a hack."

7. Sleazeilla is a corporate stooge.

She's big oil. No reform there. So inexperienced she doesn't even know what the VP does.

Sleazeilla is an asshole if he things McMoreofthesame is going to use her lady parts to cruise into the WH.
