She's sexier than McCain. She's more Republican than McCain.

Of course they're more excited about her than they are about him.

But ask yourself: who is she? Does anyone really know? Do any of those who are wild about her today really know who she is? To them (including those in the media), she's a speech written by someone else to market her as a threat.

She is pure product marketing. Is that something to be worried about? Given Americans' susceptibility to marketing, yes, to a degree. But is it *her* we need to worry about? No. It's the marketers. The antidote is either pure unadulterated good product or some nasty marketing of the Dems' own. Or maybe a combination of the two.

1. She looks sexy in a plastic barbie doll way, but

when she opens her lying whining preachy mouth, she is revolting

2. A Republican minister here was quoted in the paper

this morning as saying he was 'horrified' by Palin.

3. So why isn't SHE the nominee?

4. Because until McCain picked her, no one cared who she was.

6. Once they lose this year, she will be in 2012

I think the republicans are writing off this election. They are sending McCain out with a token nomination they know he can't win and introducing their candidate for 2012

5. Reason is dead in the GOP. Marketing is all they have left

Reason=Hope=Obama

7. Yep, it's as if they have replaced her as the Republican Presidential nominee

very weird...

Shows how much faith they have in him.

8. good post - but didn't you mean "yup" rather than "yep" ?

9. Do you always feel obligated to critique posts that do not concern you?
