Added to her clear lack of understanding on many issues is the burden of trying to tiptoe through the minefield of John McCain's shifting and erratic postions on many of these same issues. Her fail-safe resort to "common sense" bromides isn't a reliable refuge, because too often she has to reconcile "common sense" with McCain's already convoluted position.

Here are two tellers worth reading:<BR/><BR/>Dave Winer, and Hendrik Herzberg (New Yorker). I urge you to read them both.<BR/><BR/>For most people the story ends, "we can't have this unprepared woman a heart-beat away from the presidency."<BR/><BR/>But the more compelling ending is this: "we can't have the arrogant, erratic, exploitative risk-taker who hired this woman in the presidency in the first place."<BR/><BR/>(reposted to correct typo)Michael Markmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556289806815705670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974893846640978769.post-61404246821359444702008-09-28T16:50:00.000-07:002008-09-28T16:50:00.000-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Michael Markmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556289806815705670noreply@blogger.com
