2. Most serious case of political whiplash in the last 50 years:
Last night: McCain camp slams “meager record” of Obama. “Barack Obama is still not ready to be President.”
Today: McCain names his VP pick: 44-year-old Sarah Palin, Governor of Alaska for two whole years. Before that: Mayor of Wasilla. Ready on day one, right?
3. Great speech aside, Barack Obama sums up a winning rationale for his candidacy in one word:
“ENOUGH!”
4. Thanks to TPM, a potatoe-worthy moment from the McCain Store. (image taken from McCain Web site, spelling since corrected.)
5. Gaffe Riots: They’ve been waaay overshadowed by everything else, but a couple of R bigwigs have said some monumentally dumb things in the past two days. Karl Rove says that because of things like inconvenient hurricanes, Republicans can’t catch a break. (The people of New Orleans feel for you, Karl.) And a guy that helped write the McCain health care policy (there’s some dispute about his exact relationship to the campaign) says that we can solve the health care problem of 45 million uninsured people by simply not calling them uninsured anymore. After all, he says, they can always go the emergency room.
