    STOP TALKING ABOUT HER!

    You're devoting nothing but front-page stories about why Palin is bad when you should be talking about why Obama and Biden are better -not enough people find that to be self-evident and you need to help them.

    I think McCain picked Palin partly to give him an identity politics angle, partly to keep the Bible base happy, partly to divert the ire of liberals away from himself and partly to raise the ire of liberals so much that they turn off independents with their histrionics and, more importantly, forget to help their candidate win.

    In that last respect David, you are a tubthumper in McCain's orchestra.

    And he's conducting you.
