You go girl!

“No way, no how, no McCain, no Palin.” - HRC

Amen, brother. To quote The Who, hopefully, people “won’t get fooled again.” Paul Loeb from the Huffington Post:

What makes Palin such a cynical choice is that McCain doesn’t know her and doesn’t know what drives her. Until she was selected by the Karl Rove types running his campaign (like campaign manager and Rove protégé Steve Schmidt), McCain might not even have recognized her on the street. Instead, she’s a category selection, made for the crassest reasons by the same kinds of political operatives who brought us George W. Bush.

Their motives are obvious: Palin is an energetic and attractive woman who just might pick up some disgruntled Hillary supporters. She’s a westerner and a hunter who might appeal to rural voters. She might energize a previously tepid base of hard-shell religious conservatives through her opposition to abortion even in cases of rape or incest. Hard right king-maker James Dobson just said that because of her he’d vote for McCain.

Yes, Hillary Clinton was awesome and graceful last night. Loved her speech. But Montana Governor Brian Schweitzer was my MVP speaker of the night. Bob Casey came on before him and was dry. He had great material, but his speech lacked oomph.

Schweitzer, on the other hand, had more than enough oomph. His speech was music to my ears. I think he has a definite future in the party, He (with an assist from Bob Barr) might be able to deliver his home state. And he’s the type of moderate Dem who can help the Democratic party continue to grow.

Check out his speech…
