Plus, it’s played out.

Palin is much more interesting, no doubt. Watching the news here in London – and not watching or reading ANY American news sources (on purpose) – has been pretty entertaining.

If she were a Dem, I could go for an Obama/Palin ticket. It’s a shame that she’s for everything I’m against because I kind of like her. As a person. Not a politician.

It just makes you a survivor.”

I have to say i agree with that assessment. He survived, married an uber rich woman with lots of good connections in government and now, when he should be retiring to go off and enjoy his mounds of cash in the twilight of his years, he chooses to run for president with a former pole-dancer* as his running mate? Yikes. Another puppet animated by the shadowy men behind the curtain.

*beauty queen = pole dancer in my worldview.
