“say what you want, the election was pretty close until she started doing interviews”
I think that if McCain had picked Lieberman like he wanted to it would have been a hell of a close race. Palin lost McCain far more votes than she won him.
Legion, I have a conference call and can’t debate this now, but we would have had computers and silicon chips without launching rockets into space. The money could have been spent and research done without all that.
“-a greater understanding of man’s place in this universe”
I would prefer they spend the money trying to cure cancer. But that’s just me.
legion, dear, you’re the one that brought up IQ, not me. Palin shows an incredible lack of curiosity—an indicator of intelligence. I’d be surprised, actually shocked, if she was over 110. I’ll give her a few extra points for cunning.
but lechacal- I think we can also agree the bashing works both ways, except conservatives accuse liberals of destroying everything from grandma to government. Wouldn’t it be great to have the politics of cooperation for once?
oooooh legion… einstein-bose condensate. I love when you talk like that 🙂
In the winter, will the choir be at B’nai Slalom in Killington?
Meanwhile, about Palin. To answer the original question, she’s not my type. I don’t think I could get through dinner. As for exposing cultural fault lines, I think she altered them. I know a number of red state older educated republicans who found the pick irresponsible and voted for Obama. These were folks who vote democrat as often as I vote republican. Say what you want, the election was pretty close until she started doing interviews, although that may be more correlation than causation since her interviews coincided with the financial meltdown and McCain’s weird non-suspension of his campaign. Palin’s performance and McCain’s response to the meltdown told a lot of people everything they needed to know about what kind of a president McCain would have been. The electorate broke really hard in late September.
So what, bxgrl. You don’t have a Montrose Amen Choir. I’m designing the robes now. They will be tastefully, historically and architecturally interesting.
> This calls for a choir smack-down!
That’s it, I’m forming the Snarkettes. I’d like to recruit MM, bxgrl, cobblehiller and Snappy for starters.

Enjoy your weekend Benson.
Think CGar said he is on vacation this week.
“Sarah Palin is completely unfit for any office higher than Governor of Alaska.”
Given the fact she couldn’t make it through a single term it is fair to say she is unfit for that office too.
So what, bxgrl. You don’t have a Montrose Amen Choir. I’m designing the robes now. They will be tastefully, historically and architecturally interesting.
