Sarah Palin is like a shooting star \u2013 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.<\/p>\n<p>When Sarah finishes stripping McCain down to the bare essentials, he will be like the proverbial deer caught in the headlights \u2014 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\u2019ll probably freshen her lipstick, hop aboard a snowmobile and continue her meteoric express somewhere in the Land of the Midnight Sun.<\/p>\n<p>Beatrice Clark<\/p>\n<p>Renton<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
