- It’s not the freakish, shrill non-answers she gives in the few not-quite interviews by not even close to journalists.

- I felt bad for John McCain tonight. Not so bad that I would ever consider voting for him but bad nonetheless. He looked far less like a life-long politician and statesman than a confused man who realizes he has thrown away his legacy to finish second.

- Ole' Sarah is back at it again. Just this weekend, she told her supporters, on two separate occassions, that Obama had been "palling around" with a domestic terrorist. Palin stated that Barack Obama is "someone who sees America, it seems, as being so imperfect that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." ( Insert the proverbial eye-roll for ...
