It is scary, but the GOP was really fighting an upward battle, especially coming on the coattails of Bush's approval ratings. I like the Hail Mary reference... I think that says it all.<BR/><BR/>All I can say is, thank God Obama won. If nothing else, it will be refreshing to have a president that can speak in complete sentences.Virtualspritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906165073300321977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-71103836271833478512008-11-08T08:36:00.000-05:002008-11-08T08:36:00.000-05:00I agree with what Paul Begala said on Bill Maher's...I agree with what Paul Begala said on Bill Maher's program last night: Sarah Palin is good for the Democratic Party. The infighting currently at play in the GOP is more evidence of the party's enfeebled state. It's not like they didn't do this to themselves.<BR/><BR/>If there are "decent, qualified people in the Republican party" as you suggest (who and where are they, exactly?), let President-elect Obama find a place at the table for them in his administration. Otherwise, good riddance.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Peter is very funny.diana murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13839114778425842955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-810163108481683709.post-35261757153621589772008-11-08T07:13:00.000-05:002008-11-08T07:13:00.000-05:00I don't know how to do links.

The idea of a Palin in the White House on any level is terribly scary.<BR/><BR/>Sandy - I agree - I was also terribly, terribly upset by her hate mongering during rallies. I guess that's what bothered me most about her.<BR/><BR/>Kate - thanks so much for stopping by!

At the same time, I harbor real fears that she will be back, will have educated herself just enough to sound credible, and that an ignorant portion of our citizenry will find her "adorable" and vote for her.<BR/><BR/>I watched The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson recently when his guest was Chris Matthews. They suggested that candidates for President and Vice President be required to pass the citizenship test.
