There really needs to be a general "quiet, the adults are talking" attitude taken toward her and Glen Beck.

Some would say that risks the Democrats being seen as "smug" and "elitist." Well, it does, but in Teabagger world, an elitist is anyone who finished high school.

"There really needs to be a general 'quiet, the adults are talking' attitude taken toward her and Glen Beck. "

There sort of already is. Palin and Beck are sort of a gift to the Democrats. The key is not to sound too condescending while still making them look petty and stupid. A lot of Republicans are deeply ashamed of them, more so than I am of Michael Moore and Keith Olbermann, neither of whom I pay any attention to.

But yet none of those Republicans have the balls to openly express their displeasure about how their party has been co-opted by the stupid. It's either tow the party line or GTFO and so far they seem content to not rock the boat.

...and they wait for her to dumb things down to their level (regardless of whether what she says is true) and then praise her for being "a real person" they can "identify with" who has "good ideas" and isn't "elitist."

As a Christian, Sarah Palin has nothing but contempt for children who turn the other cheek.

I think you're giving her too much credit.

If she were capable of elementary school playground politics, she could be the leader of any country in the world, since that's how the earth operates. She's more the sit in class on a sunny day and eat glue politics.

He should have just repeated it verbatim with an open mouthed pause between each word.

That he happens to be cool *and* have good policies is all sorts of extra bonus. Quite the change indeed.

The fact that not everyone who watched the VP debate came away thinking she should never speak to anyone about politics again (a) blows my mind and (b) is a good window on why our country is as fucked up as it is.
