    Sarah Palin?

    Sarah Palin?

    She embodies the same semiotic of naïve political sophistry that dog whistles those sick of elites in politics. She won’t have to have an in-depth knowledge of foreign policy, or economic management, or the history of America for that matter. She’s Tammy standing by her man, she’s the coal miner’s daughter, the all American girl who happens to come from Alaska. Palin is not simply McCain’s choice for VP but rather the love child of GWB and those who voted for him over the last 8 years.
