My wife just groaning (facetiously) that McCain was against a green background again. Apparently it is the lawn from something (maybe the White House)? Where is Colbert when we need him...he could help us for the next 45 minutes.

Whether it was Rudy's teeth baring nastiness (well documented by Josh on the homepage), the weird self loathing of Mitt Romney (he hates people from Harvard ...wait he went to Harvard) or the complete snark of Sarah Palin tonight seemed to be sheer hatred by the Republicans. There will be reams of writing tomorrow about the hypocrisy of it all. But can't politics be about anything but trying to drag down the opposition. So much for post-partisan.

... you ask who has spoken up for Sarah Palin, but the real question is why hasn't she spoken up for herself? I can not imagine how someone with the confidence of their campaign not appearing on a single Sunday morning show. Will she appear this Sunday to speak for herself?

As far as surrogates go, certainly there will not be any from Alaska. The senior Senator is under indictment, the Junior Senator can't like her much since Palin beat her dad in a Republican Primary. She helped her Lt. Gov. in his race against the Congressman Don Young and she is hated by the State Senate President Lyda Green.
