Look at what she stands for:
--Small town values -- a denial of America's global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.
--Ignorance of world affairs -- a repudiation of the need to repair America's image abroad.
--Family values -- a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don't need to be heeded.
--Rigid stands on guns and abortion -- a scornful repudiation that these issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.
--Patriotism -- the usual fallback in a failed war.
--"Reform" -- an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn't fit your ideology.


Simply amazing that family values, small town America could be considered bad things - we should all move to the cities and take mass transit. Wonder who will provide our food?

Her state of Alaska has less than 700,000 residents, which reduces the job of governor to the scale of running one-tenth of New York City

...as opposed to enormous states of Vermont (pop 600,00), home of Howard Dean, and Delaware (pop 850,000), home of Joe Biden. Odd that small home state populations don't seem to affect those gentlemen's races, hmmm?

You're right, the bwahaha factor is growing daily.
