Palin Pick-Ups

With Sarah Palin out of the running, the Democratic Party should be as ingenious as possible in reaching out to those who might have been attracted to her admirable history as a Buchananite battler for job protection, for war aversion, for immigration control and for family values against the archenemy of all of them, the global “free” market, and with her record of publicly administered natural resources held in common ownership.

Heaven knows, they can expect nothing from the Republican Party. Even though it is now pretty much guaranteed to nominate the prophet and apostle of socialised medicine, who ran for the Senate from the left of Ted Kennedy. And even though he is only stopping the gap for David Petraeus, a serving member of the Obama Administration now and, no doubt, until the moment of his Inauguration in 2017.
