Trust me she is the darling of the radical right. You might have noticed I live in Texas. I am surrounded by these people and I am stuck in the middle. I can’t put out a yard sign, I can’t discuss politics with my neighbors, I don’t live in the country where I was born. I have one itty,bitty bumper sticker on my car that says “Had enough Vote Democratic”. My son told me I was taking a chance with that, and I honestly am afraid he is right. This election may be everything. She scares me.

#11 I think she is practicing her press responses and the party pitch lines and will see the press when the party thinks she is ready.
She has to have something distracting to say when the press plays her convention speech and reminds her of each lie.

Sandra, I think you’re wrong. I think their excitement is forced, and that when they lose, they’ll be grateful they burned out a nobody.

If she was the rising star they’re portraying her as, she wouldn’t be hidden from the press, or the rest of the public.

Moonbat, I remember in the 80’s when the Reagan repubs first started that “tax and spend” meme. I was always confused as to what the gov’t is supposed to do with taxes other than spend them to run the country. I guess they shouild have put all the tax money into a plie and look at it and go “that’s a lot of money.” Or play craps with it in the free market or some other dumb idea.

Sandra I find that thought entirely depressing. How did this happen? Who are these people? Why have they lost the capacity for independent critical thought? Who doesn’t know more than one of the Justice’s names? (OK, I’m on the spot without looking at Google: Roberts, Kennedy, Scalia, Thomas, Ginsburg, Breyer – I can do 6) The people I associate with are intelligent enough to know whats going on. Who wants to be ignorant? I can’t understand this.

Getting sloppy,getting smarter, nobody will notice? A little of all I think. I also agree with biggerbox. I believe this is a dry run, so to speak, for Palin. This is the new darling of the radical religious right wing. If McCain loses, they don’t really care. They will put her up next time. If he wins, they figure he will either not finish his term or not run again. Either way, it will be all hers.

I seem to recall that someone on NPR said minority representation, shich is always low, is even lower this year, in the 1% range.

The RNC also didn’t bother to get permission to use the music either.

Moonbat,
The obvious answer is not many will notice.
I think very few ‘average’ voters could name more than one supreme court justice.
