Is the Palin nomination a "barking dog" play by the GOP's (ie a pointless diversion) ?

Starting to look like it. Why is McCain hiding behind her dirty skirts?

Even if it was an attempt to "wag the dog" in order to distract the public from McCain's age or left leaning tendencies its still a brilliant way to consolidate the conservative base. Personally i think the reason that the left is so up in arms over Gov. Palin is that they wanted to be the first to put a woman in the White House, But John McBrilliant beat them to the punch and now they are looking for any excuse to muddy the waters.

No, but I can see democrats don't like the fact she is helping the GOP to win this election.

No she was a great pick, a strong, self reliant, conservative woman, everything a liberal hates and normal people love. I believe McCain would have won anyway but Palin will really widen the margin of victory.

the truth about Ms. redneck is coming out. by next week, Palin is a nonissue. she is as dumb as a stick.

Have you checked the electoral college, the polls?

Woof woof woof, arf, arf!
