From an anonymous emailer:
I’m still on that O action-email list.  Below is an article I was sent for “inspiration” –  Putting the lie to the idea that Palin was objectionable for any other significant reason that she was perceived as a threat to O’s ascendancy.   Of course they had just gotten through being very awful to Hillary supporters,  and even mocking them  with derision after defeat – like they had anywhere else to go…  Palin must have askeered them something awful.
Enter Sarah Palin
As Palin made her VP debut, I had a hard time understanding the McCain campaign’s strategy. It seemed to me they had just conceded that this election should be about change, and not experience. I thought they were vastly overestimating female disaffection with Obama. And I could not see how she could stand up to national media scrutiny. I wasn’t really worried myself about Sarah Palin, in fact I told people at the time that she would “implode” before it was all over.
But boy, did I have to hear a lot of pained handwringing and fear mongering about Palin. Everyone wanted to talk to me about how worried they were. I just wanted to find out when they were planning to do something about it. I had some empty phonebank seats waiting for anyone ready to take constructive action.
Leading up to the Convention, I thought Obama’s speech would be my great recruitment opportunity. We prepared lots of materials and organized ourselves to sign up as many highly committed volunteers as we could. By early September, I would find out istead that Sarah Palin was the best thing that ever happened to my volunteer base.
Next – September – The Palin Effect – The Office Opening – Camp Obama
On a related note, any of you who have Facebook are welcome to join my “Atlantic: Andrew Sullivan has to go” group. It does involve a little homework, though.
Yes, yes, I’m sure it’s not fair.
Dan … does that last link belong with this post or did it get misplaced?
It belongs with the post. It’s an OUTLAW post.
Sarah Palin? Nope, doesn’t ring a bell.

Too much reefer effects short term memory, loser.
The Atlantic? Weren’t thay that Dow 36,000 crowd?
I think they are going, with no additional help needed. I grinned when I was asked to click OK to send Megan McCardle to the recycling bin.
I’m going to miss her gift suggestions, but not enough to contribute in any way to their survival. It’s not personal. It’s principle.
yea i think the liberal illuminati have sufficiently bashed Palin, she won’t have much effect in politics for awhile i think.
everytime i don’t hear a black helicopter
i pray to Jesus that Sarah is in her shooting mode
to smite my enemies
Hey, maybe we can harass Andy in to making a “voluntary” “reparation” donation to our favorite charity – the PW gun fund.
And when I say “we”, I of course mean you. That guy’s scary.

if they party had said- i really want to piss-in your mouth
this all could have been avoided
since said defendant did not make clear his desire of his pee spray [taking in to account all ecological/whimsical fall-outs and the whole”warm pee- cold pee” arguements]
and defendant- not wearing his official obama astronaut to the moon alice diapers- is – in the finding of this court
a wanton and willful danger to society
and it is with a heavy hand [the one thats not under my robe-RIGHT NOW!] that i decree
pee in my mouth
