Anyone want to know why Dems have only controlled the White House for 12 of the past 40 years? Yeah, this is why.

One idea that’s being kicked around by Dems: Because huge amounts of media coverage of Palin are inevitable, why not start pushing the idea that she’s upstaging the guy who’s supposed to be at the top of the ticket?

The idea here is that her speeches will energize audiences more than his will, and she’ll prove a stronger fundraising draw than he will — facts that Dems can point to in order to portray McCain as being diminished and overshadowed by his more-charismatic and energetic number-two.

So they’re going to mock her…because she’s popular….while Obama’s still on the Democratic ticket. It takes a special kind of stupid, folks.
