Through all the spin, gripes, and fights that I've been watching over the 48-hour news cycle, here's is a passage of story that stood out to me most about Republican Vice Presidential pick Sarah Palin- she might be fooling the GOP masses but the more educated and monied seem to like her even less than Democrats.
From an Associated Press story that ran today:
The angry GOP vice presidential nominee even found a way to blame the market decline on the yet-to-be-enacted tax policies of the yet-to-be-elected Obama.
"If you turn on the news tonight when you get home, you're gonna see that, yah, this is another woeful day in the market, and the other side just doesn't understand -- no!" she said at an afternoon fundraiser at the home of mutual fund giant Jack Donahue. "Especially in a time like this, you don't propose to increase taxes. The phoniest claim in a campaign that's full of them is that Barack Obama is going to cut your taxes."
Of course, Obama never promised to cut taxes for people at $10,000-a-plate lunches in air-conditioned tents on waterfront compounds. And the crowd -- among them New York Jets owner Woody Johnson -- reacted without applause to Palin's Joe Six-Pack lines. After they didn't strike up the usual "Drill, baby, drill" or "USA" chants, Palin, rattled, read hurriedly through the rest of her speech.
Funny how the rhetoric and "cuteness" doesn't work on everyone. Somebody should have told Sarah Palin.
