Of course they knew who she was; they knew everything about her. They picked her on that basis. Pretty small town bible thumping Mayor and Governer. A perfect choice to appeal to the Heartlanders

THWAKA-THWAKA-THWAKA-THWAKA-THWAKA-THWAKA-THWAK….

“Honeeeee whatcha doin’?”
“Shut up, woman! I’m watchin’ the news!”
“But you were never interested in the news before….”

Yes, when character and values have lost their meaning, and fear fear loses it’s persuasive edge, you can always sell it with SEX!

We would do well not to assume these people are naive, or to be so naive ourselves. Republicans have election campaigning, lobbying, and politicking down to a science. They know what they’re doing every bit as much as your average evangelical huckster and snake oil salesman.

Colin Powell, James Baker and HENRY FUCKING KISSINGER endorsing an Obama position over McInsane’s:

I would think they’d want “Pale”n in there since she would likely defer to the cabal for most things. Sorta like the Shrub empty suit, only an empty skirt. And again, while McInsane and the cabal might not be best friends, they certainly can find common ground on all the Death and Destruction they’d like to unleash.

This is such a coordinated effort (even the AP is calling things “lies” in their articles all of a sudden), and things are close enough still for them that I think there’s some short-term strategy in place with this. It’s always breathtaking to me to watch how coordinated and quick their message machine is. It’s like they’re robots.

Had that thought about cutting loses and all, but it seems they are in striking distance of being able to pull it off, so why would they want to do that at this point?

Now granted, the fact that Lush Limpdick, Pox Newz and the like came out early and hard for Mittmo Romnutz but the Repube base picked McInsane instead, makes me wonder that a certain faction of the Repube Party might submarine McInsane since they really do not like him. Then in 2012, install the Tax Whisperer Romney or some other BigMoney-approved fuckwad.

Still, seems like such a huge gamble, and no matter how much they don’t get along with John-boy, I’d think they can find enough common ground to rape and pillage defenseless foreign countries and the US Treasury if he’s Prez.

Maybe your theory is correct, but my hunch is that there’s something more immediate to be gained by doing this coordinated stunt. Perhaps it’s a way for McInsane to bolster his “maverick” cred since he likes to say he bucks his own Party sometimes, and this also separates him from Rove/Bush at least on the outside? I still think they’re trying to win this thing.

When you find yourself being a spokeshole, stop digging.

Ditto, bonkers. Some lefties are getting excited that Rove “criticized” McCain. Come on, he works for McSame! So are we suppose to believe that all of a sudden the evil scumbag Rove is getting all fair & balanced? Just doesn’t add up. How is this helping McCain? That is the question.
