Glenn is on the money, again. We have ample evidence that the electorate, especially for president, votes with its gut rather than with its head. That's what gave us 8 years of W, and just may give us four years of McCain (did anyone pick up on Palin saying that what America needs is four years of John McCain?).
Sarah Palin is W with a vagina (and a brain). She is as comfortable at a podium as he is awkward, but with the same message. "Wouldn't you rather have a beer with ME and not that Harvard Law metrosexual?"
I do see a little liberal hypocrisy showing itself: when Biden was picked he was welcomed as the attack dog who would cut McCain down to size. Now, when the Republican VP serves the same role she's "vicious", "mean", and of course, "a bitch".
The McCain team is right. This election isn't about issues; hell, they never are. It's about personalities and passions and "team spirit". And the Republicans have done that better than the Democrats for a while now.
