Via Blogger Interrupted. this dude went to a McCain-Palin rally in Strongsville, Ohio the other day and talked to some mccain-palin supports, who of course, think he's a terror-loving terrorist. (TM tina fey)

Sarah Palin and Feminism
Quick post because I really wanted to share this link: I know there have been oodles of articles about what Sarah Palin's candidacy means in terms of the feminist movement, but this pretty much sums it up. Perfectly articulates what I and so many of my wonderfully intelligent and accomplished friends have been feeling-- that it's tragic how Sarah Palin is our first chance att having a woman in the white house.
The queen of glittering generality
Found this interesting article in the Christian Science monitor written by Andrew Halcro. He debated Palin for the governorship 2 years ago and knows her tactics.
From the article:
On April 18, 2006, Palin and I sat together in a hotel coffee shop comparing campaign trail notes. As we talked about the debates, Palin made a comment that highlights the phenomenon that Biden is up against.
"Andrew, I watch you at these debates with no notes, no papers, and yet when asked questions, you spout off facts, figures, and policies, and I'm amazed. But then I look out into the audience and I ask myself, 'Does any of this really matter?' " Palin said.
While policy wonks such as Biden might cringe, it seemed to me that Palin was simply vocalizing her strength without realizing it.

NYT video breakdown of Biden-Palin debate
Some prospective thought about the debate tomorrow from the NYT website. They found vids of Sarah Palin's debates from when she ran as governor in Alaska.

traaaiiinnn wreckkkkk
Clips of Sarah Palin's interview with Katie Couric. This is painful. Now to be fair, I haven't seen the whole thing to put it in context... but... these seem like fairly direct questions to me...
Gawker has a longer compilation of similar bites from the interview, I just can't figure out how to embed it http://gawker.com/5054523/worst-of-sarah-palins-katie-couric-interview-so-far
