Read It and Veep

TPM:

And here’s the bad news for Palin. Time says that McCain is losing women at a faster clip than Palin was able to gain them—before the two conventions, Obama led among women by ten points, which then narrowed to one point after she was picked. Now he leads by 17 points.

And in Pew, Palin’s public image has taken a very serious fall. Three weeks ago, Palin was seen as qualified to be president by a 52%-39% margin. Now that number has been reversed: Only 37% think she’s qualified, and 51% say she is not.

A Christian pig in lipstick like Sarah Palin needs to be gang raped by black thugs until she withdraws from the race.

As a Jewish democrat I am sickened by the years of the Bush administration's sexist and racist policies. I am voting for Obama because he is black and is willing to go to war with Pakistan. My relatives in Israel love McCain, but I am calling grandma in Florida to tell her to vote Obama. Sarah Palin isn't even a woman.
