As Qualified as Obama?: Palin and the Branding of John McCain

Posted on September 3, 2008 in Campaign 2008

I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a ‘community organizer,’ except that you have actual responsibilities.”

-Sarah Palin

Palin equals Obama only in Karl Rove’s imagination. Obama isn’t jumping from community organizer to Presidential candidate. Check his resume.

The Palin pick shows how out of control John McCain is at this time. Word is that even he didn’t want her, but that back-scenes pressure from Karl Rove and the Bush White House saddled him with her. If McCain can’t even choose his own VP, what kind of maverick is he?

One branded and on the way to the slaughterhouse.
