Bottom line from a quote online:

"If John McCain doesn't choose Sarah Palin, he might have to plead temporary insanity."

Nice to see that McCain is mastering use of the internets...

Palin does look impressive. As someone who will most likely vote for Obama over McCain, but who could conceive of voting for Palin as President some day, I don't know to cheer her or fear her.

I will confess to hoping that McCain's staff locates, and heeds, my link- and photo-stuffed post from Sunday on Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

Out of curiosity, do people actually say "it's a Google"? I work in IT and I've never heard it phrased that way. It seems that "google" is most often a verb when not referring to the company itself; as a noun, I've always heard people call it a "google search". Not that this is particularly important. It wouldn't surprise me, or even bother me much, to discover that McCain is not fluent in high tech lingo. That having been said, it does bother me that our current President speaks of "rumors on the internets", while the guy he defeated in 2000 was instrumental in funding said internet(s), yet was pounded mercilessly by the right-wing noise machine for a silly gaffe on the subject. (Which I have to admit that I fell for at the time.)
