 I Can't Believe Nobody Gets This at Small Dead Animals.

  Palin wasn't chosen to pick off disgruntled Hillary supporters (though she will to a degree).

  She was chosen to pick off Democratic, blue collar men.

  Think, people, think.

  There's more there.

"You're welcom."

And my spelling too.

Is there no end to their perdidity?

6 It hasn't even started. The first completely post-convention polls will come out on Monday, and usually it takes 2 days for the bounce to reflect. I expect Obama to be licking boogers by Wed.

7 well, that bounce is nothing a little oversampling of leftists can't hide.

Let them oversample the other side.  It will make them cocky.

Then they'll have their Pauline Kael moment on November 5th.

Fucker.

You should just see her lingerie collection.

Barry.  Is.  Toast.

Seriously, though...

There are -- or were -- some conservatives posting here who were not going to vote for McCain.  I have a question for them if they see this...

Did this last week change your mind?

15 Someone was looking for a good story to pin on Palin.

"Who is this uncircumcised Philistine?!" (made me chuckle in church every time)

And the Philistine cursed David by his gods, but David replied: This day the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you down, and cut off your head; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day to the birds of the air and tot he wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that Yahweh saves not with sword and spear; for the battle is Yahweh's and he will give you into our hand.

David then strikes Goliath with a stone from his sling, and the Philistine falls on his face to the ground. David seizes the sword of the giant and kills him, and cuts off his head. The Philistines flee and are pursued by the Israelites as far as Gath and the gates of Ekron. David puts the armor of Goliath in his own tent, and takes the head to Jerusalem where the cowardly King Saul sends his chief of staff Abner to inquire whose son this is who routed the Philistines and killed their champion. Abner brings David before Saul, who asks him whose son he is, "And David answered, "I am the son of your servant Jesse of Bethlehem."

King Saul wouldn't go, and none of his best warriors would, either. David's brothers begged him not to go. But their baby David insisted on going with only his staff and his slingshot, trusting the battle was God's to win. That's where humility amalgamates with faith. You do what you must the best to your ability with what you know best and have at hand, and trust in God to carry through God's will in God's speed.

For me, I Samuel 17 illustrates what we have between the MSM Philistine DNC Champion Goliath Obama challenging Israel as God and Country First championed by the bold David as McCain and his slingshot ticket armed with the Alaskan pebble Palin.

Amazing Palin, our All American pearl of great price.

<i>Seriously, though...There are -- or were -- some conservatives posting here who were not going to vote for McCain.  I have a question for them if they see this...Did this last week change your mind?</i>

No. Not mine, anyway.

Obama's big obstacle to victory is that he's an anti-American racist radical leftist one-worlder. McCain's problem is that he's a dick.

17 Yes.  Money.  How much of it did BHO and HRC burn through after Super Tuesday.  Operation Chaos + Sarah Palin = Victory

18 Barbelle: HELL yes. I hadn't absolutely made up my mind to stay home, but I hated McCain with hatey flame of hatey hate. Now, thanks to Sarah, I'm even finding his Maverickyness endearing. I'm pumped! I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with me. I need to drink more.

19 Obama seems to be having some 'distractions'.  His Honor the Mayor of Detroit was found to be without any.  And after all The Chosen One did to say he was doing a "great job".  Seems the MSM made much of Bush's "Brownie you're doing a heck of a job".  Why not the same for His Honor?  Then we have the staff member openly violating The Chosen One's dictum not to engage in personal attacks under threat of being fired.  Guess "fired" means something different to Democrats.  Then the news comes that more watched McCain's speech then the one with all those fancy pillars and arches....even tho' fewer stations carried the broadcast.  Couple days later, props for that great oration are found in the trash bin.  But then everyone knows Democrats store the American flag in trash bins.  Getting damn hard to run for POTUS when you keep getting compared to the oppositions VPOTUS.  This whole gig looked soooooooo easy one week ago.  What the %$#& happened?

I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with me. I need to drink more.

21 Actually, as I was running errands this afternoon, it came to me. The reason that Palin so infuriates the moonbats and lefty fellow-travelers: she's everything that they've been screeching that people should be ashamed of -- a gun-clinging, bible-thumping woman saddled with too many kids, a demanding and stressful job, a minority husband, stuck way-way-way outside the promised land of Manhattan's penthouses, with a son who's marching off to war -- and she's happy about it. Every bit of it.

If she'd had the grace to be ashamed or miserable, they could just play on. But she's radiantly happy about the whole thing. She's having a blast. And they're going absolutely wild.

She's not: a scold, like Hillary; a whiner, like Barack; a take-charge guy like Romney; a hero, like McCain.... And the "she's a woman, let's send a woman out to shoot her down" meme is completely off-base. She's the antithesis of being "beaten down by The Man" (not "the male patriarchy", it should be noted) because she's not beaten down. After 18 months of hearing about how horrible things are and how horrible they'll be, she's "life's good, and we're gonna make it better."

At least, that's my $.02 -- it seems like the game has changed in a major way, and seeing it as a change from "hope, you miserable scum" to "whee! let's go faster next time!" seems to make sense.

22 Oh, and another data point -- Allahpundit + Katrina and the Waves !!!

23 21. Posted by: cthulhu at September 06, 2008 07:39 PM (FzSTG) I think you are absolutely right. Actually, I think there is more to it even than all that, but I agree.

24 Barbelle, I was in the "Hold my nose and vote against Obama" camp. Now I'm in the "Enthusiastic" camp. My particularly hot issue is energy. McCain mostly says the right things (except in ANWR). But Sarah is arguably the most energy-specific VP choice possible. (At least, none of the others come off looking that way to me.) She espouses my energy plan - "Take the sanest of whatever crazy alternative energy sourceshe wants, double it, add a hundred drills, ten refineries, 50 nuclear plants and a pony." But... I'm in Seattle. My vote is either completely pointless because we're so damn blue around here. Or completely pointless because there's a Reaganesque landslide going on.

25 Yeah, octopus-face, that has the ring of truth.

So does the Allahpundit comment.  I wonder when he's gonna tell his parents.

26 He has a poor opinion of most of the other animals in the Forest, describing them has having "No brain at all, some of them", "only grey fluff that's blown into their heads by mistake" (from chapter 1 of The House at Pooh Corner). Allah is not all bad....I mean Eyore

28 #16 -- But "Dicks fuck assholes!"

cthulhu - good stuff.

Speaking as a woman, let me say that I think the single biggest thing that is freaking out a lot of liberal women about Sarah Palin is her looks.  She has kept her figure after five kids (!!!) she wears her hair long and not butchy-short like most professional women, her skin is flawless, she has nice legs, and she wears skirts and stockings!  There has simply never been a female politician as smoking hot as this woman is.  Nobody is supposed to look that good at 44, much less look that good four months after giving birth to a fifth child (that is why so many people are willing to believe the Trig smear).  And anyone who does must be an airhead who has had plastic surgery (I'm shocked this rumor hasn't started yet) and spends all her time obsessively working out.  It's just wrong.

Plus she has an unbelievably hunky man.  You know they are having hot sex all the time, and they don't care how many babies they make.  How many 44-year-old couples do you know that have sex anymore at all?  And this guy is obviously way too mnly to accept a famous, working spouse or willingly quit a job to help take care of the kids.  That's what wimpy upper middle class suburban lawyers and paper pushers do. 

Women who have whined and agitated for years for all sorts of government help, such as mandated paid maternity leave, subsidized daycare, etc. are particularly pissed that here we have a successful, driven woman who went back to work 3 days after gving birth, has never hired a nanny, did not limit the size of her family because she thought she had to in order to have a career. etc.  It screws their whole agenda.

30 I know that Allahpundit is being widely re-interpreted as Eeyorepundit, but it seems to me he is trying to be the slave riding in the chariot behind Caesar in the triumph, whispering "Sic transit gloria" (approximately translated as: all glory is fleeting).

However, I would like to point out to the esteemed Pundit of you-know-who that we aren't in the triumph phase yet, and are thus unlikely to become crazy drunk with power just yet.  The time for that is after the election. 

At which point, hey, I'll be happy to join him.

31 Barbelle: Did this last week change your mind?

Yes. I was going to vote Barr for sure, and I didn't expect somebody like Teh Fred to be VP pick, but damned if ol' Sidney didn't pick somebody who could piss off commies even better -- and for the exact reasons she's a desirable candidate, say no more wink nudge.

32

Barbelle: "There are -- or were -- some conservatives posting here who were not going to vote for McCain. I have a question for them if they see this...

Did this last week change your mind?"

Oh, absolutely. Even knowing what I knew about Obama, McCain was still going to be a difficult choice for me. Though he had moved on some issues in the "right" direction just prior to and after Saddleback ( e.g., energy policy) and generally impressed me rather than kicking me in the nuts again, he had moved only from a "cold-day-in-hell" to an "election-game-day-decision."

Palin shifted my paradigm. It felt good.

The bonus? While the legacy media gets stabbed in the heart by Sarahcuda, I'll get to give the blade a twist when I pull the lever for McCain/Palin.

I would love to see the following transpire. McCain/Palin win going away and leave the Democrat party demoralized and wallowing in defeat, hoist upon their own identity-politics petard. McCain/Palin start moving a reformist agenda (small gov, lower taxes, strong defense, deference to states' rights, etc.) and retain the ability to shape SCOTUS should any jurist retire. McCain, the Maverick, fulfills one term and then, like a statesman and setting a historical landmark, proactively quits after one term with Palin picking up the baton and selecting more reformist, non-beltway allies (e.g. a seasoned Jindal). McCain remains a party elder and having fulfilled, I'm sure, the dream he always had, will have gone from the lowest of lows from his Vietnam torture to the highest of highs with some time left to reflect upon the path. Meanwhile, a new generation of patriotic populists will have matured, a generation removed from the bubbledome that is D.C., and become more in sync with those who must trust them to do the common man's bidding.

That's my dream. And it was McCain's selection of Palin that created it.

33

Sarah Palin embodies one of America's favorite archetypal storylines: that behind every good man is an even better woman. That is why she has caused such a stir; being a great woman must mean that McCain is a good man. Her presence has touched a part of our collective psychology.

The ghey left (but I repeat myself)is in an uproar for different reasons. After all, their archetype has something other than a better woman behind a good man.

34 "But... I'm in Seattle. My vote is either completely pointless because we're so damn blue around here. Or completely pointless because there's a Reaganesque landslide going on."

Al, I wrestled with that a little bit, too, because I live in Brooklyn, NY, but in the end I say cast the vote.  It can only help the final tally, especially if we end up in another 2000 "tie."

Did this last week change your mind?

Read the comments in this post about Governor Palin from February versus the comments from almost any post this week and you will see quite a lot of changed minds:

http://minx.cc/?post=254203

 

I am linking this post again in part because I wish Ace or one of the co-bloggers would put this post back up 'on the front page', not because of the comments, but because Ace's post (written long before her selection) is actually excellent:

"Palin is actually a good pick for serious reasons. She took on a sitting governor in a primary and beat him soundly. She fought corruption in the state government, is pro-life, anti-tax, a lifetime NRA member and has cut spending in her state. Having her on the ticket would undercut the "making history" soundbite that's bound to come out of the Democrats no matter who they nominate."

 

36 Did this last week change your mind?

Yes.  I'd been an Obama "suicide voter" previously.

37 Oh, I'm voting. I have to help elect Dino Rossi, the guy we (mostly) elected governor last time.

38 Yes, it changed my mind.  Well, sort of.  I was planning on getting shitfaced drunk on November 4 starting around 10am, and told a friend to remind me it was election day sometime around 6pm.  If I managed to stagger down the road to vote for McCain, well, at least I'd have the blessing of not remembering it.

Now I don't feel a need to get drunk for it at all.  Way I look at it, I'm not voting for McCain, I'm casting a preemptive vote for Palin 2016, 8 years early.

"Did this last week change your mind?"

I'm an independent who was reluctantly going to vote for McCain. However, with Palin on the ticket I am now enthusiastically going to vote for McCain.

This was an amazing quote from Obama, "And that’s what the Republicans, when they say, ‘This isn’t about issues, it’s about personalities,’ what they’re really saying is, ‘We’re going to try to scare people about Barack. So we’re going to say that you know, maybe he’s got Muslim connections or we’re going to say that, you know, he hangs out with radicals or he’s not patriotic.’"

People do want a leader as president and Obama has proven he is not - he doesn't even understand leadership. And he does hang out with radicals and seems to think nothing of it. He doesn't get it. What kind of crazies would he put in as his Cabinet members, and judges, etc.?

And Biden as his "hope and change" VP pick? Disaster. My respect for McCain went up 1000% when he took a risk and chose Palin. I want a president who's willing to take calculated risks. Obama just seems to want to whine and play it safe.

I do disagree on many issues with McCain/Palin, but more importantly, I want a president who has integrity, works in the best interest of America as a whole, fights against corruption and special interests, fights for the principles in the Constitution, and is a true leader. McCain proved to me this week that he can be that strong and decisive leader with Palin as a strong supportive leader who can help him run this great country of ours.

40 cthulhu and rockmom have analyzed Palin's impact better than anyone I've seen on tv.  Well done.

41

Barbelle: "There are -- or were -- some conservatives posting here who were not going to vote for McCain.  I have a question for them if they see this.. Did this last week change your mind?"

Why yes. Yes it did.

After Giuliani (and Romney) dropped out I voted for fucking Ron Paul in my primary. Not because I like him; that's how much I couldn't stomach what the Maverick's done to the conservative (or "reactionary") cause in the past eight years. After that I was going to vote Barr.

But Vice President Palin overturns everything I thought I knew about him.

42 preemptive vote for Palin 2016, 8 years early

Precisely.  I still fully expect McCain to screw us over many different ways.

43 DAMN IT, FOOL...BETTER BRING ME MY FUCKIN' MONEY BITCH...I'LL BE UP ALL IN YOUR SHIT, AND TREAT YOU LIKE I TREATED FRANKLIN, BITCH...

Night Shift fans know who Franklin is...Franklin Delano Roosevelt Jones (Shelly Long's pimp in the movie)

44 "Allah, the Eeyore of the dextrosphere..."

I've always failed at coming up with a way to say that.  Ace is a master.

45

Barbelle,

Yes.  To the degree to which my comments have ever been taken up for discussion here they've been along the lines of "can the whole limited powers tripartite government thing hold the republic through four years of Barry while the GOP does some soul searching?", because after they way the primaries went I wanted to see the party crash and burn. 

Now I'm not only an enthusiastic Palin supporter, my respect for McCain has gone up because of the very fact that he picked her (and bucked the conventional yada yada).

So, was that question for a class project?  Are you asking it on other sites?  Will you tell us what you've learned?

46 Did this last week change your mind? Absolutely. I was going to hold my nose and pull the lever for Johnny Mac, then go home and watch him lose. I am now excited. I have made phone calls from Republican HQ (for the first time ever). I have donated actual dollars (for the first time ever). His pick tells me that he has an actual plan to govern, not just a plan to get elected. And I actually believe this is time for a true movement in the GOP and the beginning of desperately needed re-branding. He changed the game with one brilliant move. I now have HOPE for CHANGE and it's change I can believe in. The Mav stole Barry's message, but when he say's it, I believe it.

47

So, was that question for a class project? 

No.

Are you asking it on other sites? 

With rare exception, I don't post on other sites.

Will you tell us what you've learned?

No.
