I finally saw some of Palin's speech. Polished with zero content, other than
rote stuff I could have written for her in one of those "compose the opposing
point of view" exercises in debate class.

They will try to say otherwise, but the record is clear: 4 years of this Republican
ticket IS four more years of Cheneybush. The only reason they even have a chance
is because they have the 30% who still think Bush is great (and probably drive their
cars as well as Mr. Magoo) plus another 20% who thought he should have been, and can't
figure out what went wrong.

McCain will address "his friends" shortly back Stateside. I won't stay up for it.
It's after midnight here, and I just got back, jetlagged above and beyond the call.
I'll just get put to sleep anyway--might as well get a head start.
