What I found most interesting in that article was the notion that McCain and Palin would campaign together. That seems very clever to me.

The second most interesting thing was the take that her comments about Iraq indicated that she thought Iraq was behind 9/11. Unless there was some context that wasn't communicated, that's a questionable interpretation.

Starting a war with the other biggest nuclear power on the planet merits a "PERHAPS SO"?

That would probably be effective in an attack ad. Perhaps she got tired of "keeping all the options open" or whatever phrase it was she kept using and substituted the equivalent "perhaps so." But the latter has a flip quality to it that could be exploited if the Obama campaign chose emulate the McCain campaign's techniques.

If I were in the Obama campaign the ads with that clip would be up tomorrow. Palin ready to start WW3 when she gets to office, if the fancy strikes her.

Been sitting in the waiting room of the optometrist's office this morning writing ads in my head. I hadn't gotten to that one but it seems to me the ads just simply write themselves. I cannot understand the failure of the Obama campaign on this front. Perhaps we'll learn there is a reason.
