The Speech

[sleigh]

I just watched Sarah Palin's speech.

I think if anyone is dismissing her as a lightweight and a pushover, they are sadly mistaken. This could be very interesting.

Palin, McCain

I have really nothing to add, but I want to point out to people that it is very, very good for me (and possibly other more-or-less lurkers) to see people whose opinions are similar to mine, but better formed and thus more suitable to clear writing, discussing what is happening in this election rationally. I am so frightened of a McCain-Palin administration that I have been physically ill lately fretting about it. It is not your job ("you" including people who are my friends, people I scarcely know, and people who know sleigh but not me) to make me feel better. It is not your job to convince me that McCain-Palin cannot win, and therefore I have nothing to worry about (a reassuring position, but one that is not yet convincing). You don't have any job at all that involves me. Still, your sane and confident writings are doing good things for me, and although it will not change the course of this election, the discourse is hardly irrelevant. Please keep up the good work.
