The Palin Trap

It's comments like this that are part of the "Palin Trap" the McCain-Rove team were counting on:

“There’s a gigantic difference between John McCain and Barack Obama and between me and I suspect my vice presidential opponent,” Biden said at an outdoor rally Sunday, getting ready to hit the GOP ticket for their economic policies.

“She’s good-looking,” he quipped.

Joe was being self-deprecating, but that doesn't change the fact that the comment was sexists. McCain and Rove are giggling to themselves this morning as they watch their handiwork unfold.

While I mocked the Palin pick on Friday and while I still believe John McCain has gambled with the nation's security for political gain, I do not underestimate the threat of Sarah Palin. If 50 million people can vote for George W. Bush twice, then there is no telling what they will fall for this time around.
