    McCain's Judgement

    In the end this is all about his (lack of) judgement in selecting Gov. Palin. This is our first opportunity to see how he will make decisions. Regardless of what they say she was not thouroughly vetted, he made the deicsion in minutes if not seconds, all because he wanted to step on the convention bounce of his opponent.

    The aftermath is TOTAL Bush. Same casst of characters, same techniques. Now he's earned the title "McSame".

    One note on Cambell Brown - I saw the interview she conducted. I would hardly call it a body slam. She asked, politely, apologetically a question. One question. Not a hard question. She did journalism. But it was not a bodyslam. Perhaps because the Republicans have become soft and think they should never have to answer a question they think she was tough. But she wasn't.
