Sarah Palin, Embezzler?

And it looks like (very preliminarily) that the "convention bounce" for McCain has been nullified in advance. He may not get any measurable bounce other than the normal signal noise in the daily tracking polls.

He has "screwed the pooch."

You guys did a good job over the weekend of smearing the bejesus out of the woman after the press switched stories to Gustav. I have to applaud the apparently successful effort to frame this candidate. It worked. I may not agree with it, but I have to recognize that this uncoordinated effort by the NYT, the Huff Post, and hundreds of bloggers worked. Its like a decentralized swift boating.

Freddy, its not the firing of the trooper that is controversial. It is the firing of the state officer who disagreed with the firing.

The fact that he was refusing to fire that pathetic excuse for a human being makes him just as bad. You guys just keep reaching and reaching and reaching. It's just sad to watch.

Pathetic excuse for a human being? Please tell me you are not passing judgment on a person you have never met based on unsubstantiated rumors posted on the internet?

And even if I accept your assertion that he is just as bad, he is not running for VP

As in all such matters, the allegations need to be proven before a personnel decision can be reached, and it appears that the evidence just did not stand up to scrutiny. Would you want all hiring and firing decisions to be made on the say-so of a top politico? We used to call that system "patronage" and it is generally regarded as evil now.

Do you really want a return to Boss Tweed or to the Chicago Machine?
