Obamalot......
“In short, there’s simply not a more congenial spot for happily-ever-aftering.......”
Obama’s ‘Land of Oz’.....a fantasy wonderland......carved from whole cloth and offered up to the American public in living color complete with Greek columns and American as apple pie fireworks...I gotta say, I felt like I wuz bein’ run over by the Obama juggernaut.....but, as they used to say about Hollywood...look behind the phony tinsel and glitter to find the real tinsel and glitter.... Barack Obama may be the Jay Gatsby of modern politics, an affirmative action candidate whose lack of experience doesn’t seem to matter to his suppporters.... (he’s black...it’s an historic first)...he’s the ‘candidate of change’ and the electorate seems ready to leap from the frying pan into the fire.
And there ain’t no doubt that Denver wuz a high point in the 18 month campaign to annoint Barack Obama... Invesco stadium wuz packed to the gills with 70 to 80 thousand screaming spectators...could’a been the Super Bowl or sumthin’ minus the jugs of wine ‘n loaves of bread....
But, there wuz one small problem......an insignificant one, according to the Obamians...really no more than a flea bite...that old fart, McCain, named a nobody from nowhere, Alaska, t’be his running mate...
“Birds flyin’ high, you know how I feel....
....it’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life.....”
....And this nobody from nowhere stole the show....like oil on troubled water, Sarah Palin calmed the multitude ‘n reversed the tide...the small town beauty queen who grew up to become mayor of Masilla, Alaska (Where?)...
a real-life Northern Exposure where she grew up, a high school beauty queen, a ‘Chris in the morning’ DJ, a commercial fisherman (fisherperson ?) a mother of five whose story sounds like sumthin’ out of Disney.....
The Obama camp immediately jumped on her lack of experience (Is it racist to wonder if that’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black?)....
At any rate, she stole the thunder of the Chosen One and gave a new lease on life to the Republican party...

Oh, I think you want to think that the Obama camp is "jumping on her lack of experience", but I really think they're mostly criticizing a fairly transparent effort to catch any Hillary votes that might have been solely based on gender.
But after hearing Miz Palin's gubernatorial inauguration speech on the radio this morning, my theory is that they chose her to make sure McCain would be the best speaker of the two.
I know I usually just do the wisecrack comments, but I figured I might as well throw a real one in every now and again. Just mixin' stuff up...:))
