Dems outraged with Palin
http://edwardsreport.wordpress.com/
Senator John McCain’s choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin to be his running mate has set off alarm bells throughout the Beltway and into the media center of New York City. Washington Lobbyist Bernice Satanica was deeply alarmed about McCain’s choice. ”Palin’s so inexperienced. She’s not familiar with Washington’s ways. For example, she doesn’t know how to hide a lobbyist’s gift from public scrutiny. She doesn’t know how to work the system to give tax dollars to your undeserving campaign donors. She doesn’t know which local park is best to stash the bodies of political associates or former lovers. She’ll be a disaster.”
In New York City, the reaction was just as swift. ”I mean, my god, does she even read Frank Rich every Sunday? Has she ever read Derrida or Foucault? Is America really ready for that kind of president?” asked Paulette Kael, the literary editor of the New York Review of Books. ”Look at her. Her husband’s a union member who works with his hands, her son is in the military, she had to work for everything she has, she engages in hunting and fishing, and, my god, she has five kids, none of which are adopted from exotic countries. This will seem so alien to voters. I’m not sure how America will be able to relate to her.”

Re: Dems outraged with Palin
This whole thing makes me smile. I think the Palin nomination crushes quite a bit of the unfair demagoguery of the Democrats being the "party of the people" vs. those mean, big business Republicans who are out of touch with the public.
I do think that the vast majority of politicians of both parties are out of touch with what life is like for the rest of us, but this goes a long way into taking that issue away from the Democrats, who never should have had it in the first place.
