Oooh, shiny!
In this age of diversity Flavors of the Month, it’s time for McGehee’s Rule for Contemplating Candidates:
[Y]ou really need to stop and ask yourself: If this person were a 50-something white male Protestant, would I be anywhere near as enthusiastic about supporting him?
If the answer is not a brutally honest “Oh, hell yes!”, you need to step away from the candidate and go bash yourself over the head with a board full of rusty nails until you regain your senses.
Please note that slicing a couple of decades off John McCain wouldn’t have helped him any.

So a proven government reformer, with the right positions on taxes, energy, defense, capitalism in general; I don’t quite get the point McGhee is on to here.

Who are you talking about? McCain? He of the Free Speech Repeal Act?

Narciso, did you read anything in that post but the names? Is it really that tough a concept for you?
I’ll spot you an extra: go back to my site, find the search box down on the right sidebar, type in “Palin” and read some of the content. Maybe that’ll make it plain enough for you.
