Contrast

VIN SUPRYNOWICZ of the Las Vegas Review Journal made a few observations about the choice of Palin for Veep and what it has precipitated in the Democratic Left. It's worth a read. But this bit really stuck out at me.

Why the desperation?

Because Vice President Sarah Palin would mean Americans could actually end up electing a woman president without tapping a manipulative, soulless, stay-married-just-to-stay-in-power socialist.

I had kind of pushed that little bit about the failed Democratic candidate to the side and pretty much forgotten about it. Perhaps out of charity. But the shoe doeth appear to fit, doesn't it?
