And she said it in the nicest, gosh-darn way, bless her little heart. The GOP loved it, but did anyone else? Did Palin change hearts and minds? Probably not.

Precisely. And your point was, JJ?

The Katie Couric interview that was such a disaster for Palin — and that prompted me to conclude that she was out of her league and should leave the ticket — was awful precisely because Palin couldn’t explain anything. For whatever reason, she couldn’t even speak coherently. The debate format clearly worked better for her because she could control her message and keep pounding well-rehearsed talking points. Does that mean she’s ready to lead the free world should circumstances warrant?

Yeah, sure.

Reagan all over again. Convinced the convinced and was right for no reasons he could've grasped. Let's at least hope the naysayers on the 'right' will show up and vote or else we'll get BHO in the WH.

JJ, JJ, you've got your quantifiers wrong. If the "naysayers on the 'right'" show up, that's absolutely no guarantee Mac wins -- it's a necessary, but far from sufficient condition. And, by the way, the 'right' is not defined by McCain and/or Palin -- it's a much more complicated concept.

In the meantime: 60%-40% Senate? Let's move to Burundi.

Maybe Burundi's an option. You can't tell a depression from a boom.
