Palin to continue express in Alaska

Gov. Sarah Palin is like a shooting star – a meteor streaking through the dead rubble of the McCain campaign. Mirror image of Obama? Not even close. She is a replica of John McCain in reverse. She is the star of his show, a reflection of him in every sense. She can draw the large crowds, which he cannot; she has the high energy, which he does not; she is a comedian, which he is not; she reads the teleprompter well; he gets befuddled.

Gov. Sarah Palin is like a shooting star – a meteor streaking through the dead rubble of the McCain campaign. Mirror image of Obama? Not even close. She is a replica of John McCain in reverse. She is the star of his show, a reflection of him in every sense. She can draw the large crowds, which he cannot; she has the high energy, which he does not; she is a comedian, which he is not; she reads the teleprompter well; he gets befuddled.

When Sarah finishes stripping McCain down to the bare essentials, he will be like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights — nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. He will be exposed in stark reality. Then the people who think for themselves will choose; substance over superficiality; a real person over an illusion. As for Sarah, she’ll probably freshen her lipstick, hop aboard a snowmobile and continue her meteoric express somewhere in the Land of the Midnight Sun.
