When Sarah palin was first selected as the vice presidential candadite, I was confused. Now I think it was genius. It has reeenergized the the fundamentalist base, a boost john McCain sorely needed. But in addition her selection has completely dominated the the press despite her lack of understanding of the issues and recent history. Worst of all, she's bait. It's hard not to go after her for being a ludicrous choice for vp, but it's easy to spin that into sexism. Tina fey really needs to step up the satire, the Dems are gonna need it.
