We have just witnessed

in a very real, large measure a national exorcism -- of Sarah Palin. This woman, whatever her arguable redeeming attributes and skills, is so clearly unfit to serve as next in line to the presidency, that her totally transparent ambition and arrogant ego became perhaps the tipping point factor in McCain's loss.

Think about it. How much time and energy did he have to waste defending this bizarre choice, to the deafening exclusion of every other argument?

Here's what I wrote here in February of this year

This is the beginning of the end, and come January the Obama campaign will be singing:

Carry me back to old Virginia,

There's where the cotton and the prim'ry voters grow,

There's where the birds warble sweet in the springtime,

There's where this old [African-American]'s heart am long'd to go.

And Obama will be saying: "I think it was those letter writers on Salon who really tipped it my way. They just would not surrender even when it looked like the massa and missis were going to take back the plantation."

Thank You

I'm not a religious man, but I feel like the hand of God just plucked us away from the brink.
