The Vapors Of OReform

clipped from hotair.com

That assumes two facts not in evidence at all — that Palin was a safe pick,
and a darling of the party. I doubt seriously that McCain took very much advice
from the RNC on any aspect of his campaign, let alone allow them to dictate his
running mate. Palin has endeared herself to the party in Alaska in the same way
McCain has endeared himself to it nationally. It’s an absurd statement and shows
how desperate Axelrod has become.

As I mentioned earlier, this has to be a major attack line for Team McCain.
Only one ticket in this race has a record of independent thought and action.
Obama/Biden are machine politicians, never rocking the Democratic boat. Both
McCain and Palin have actual experience doing what Obama only talks about. When
pressed on this point, the only defense Team Obama has are a few co-sponsorships
that didn’t even warrant a roll-call vote. Obama has never risked his standing
in the party to champion any sort of reform or any kind of legislation at
all.
