    Kitt, you're asking the impossible here.

    You're trying to sell Palin as a heavyweight. The jokes write themselves. John McCain put "Country First" by choosing Palin? That is one hard sell. -- Kitt

    Kitt, shooter242 couldn't sell water in a desert. He manages to undercut his argument against the candidates, even as he miscounts their number, in one fell swoop by appealing to something too insubstantial to mean anything. And, given his shaky command of english, doesn't appear to even realize it.

    I will admit Governor Palin has proven quite a popular choice, at least among Democrats. Oh, she could be a trap to portray Senator Biden as an old meany, especially if she goes into hysterics during their debate. But the woman's such a professional disaster its hard to see her bringing anything to the table beyond her chromosome structure, something a lot of Republicans and fringe dwellers have already picked up on.

    In short, let's not give shooter242 more credit than is his actual capacity.
