Can you imagine if she had tried to appeal to actual swing-voters instead of right wing nut jobs? This was a godsend.

She was fodder for the base, the right wing nut jobs. Swing voters would never buy her abstinence-only, no sex-ed, burn the books, agenda. She, like Bush, believes any decision she makes is ordained by God because she prayed about it.

Right, and those lap dogs lapped it up. Any moderation from McCain tonight will be a transparant farse -- what moderate could believe it after last night.

I was relieved also. I was afraid that she might have turned out to be someone really charming who could win over undecided voters. All the charm ended once the family introductions were over.
