Sadly, I don't say it from personal experience. Apparently, the difference between a hockey mom and a wolverine is not just lipstick; it's also a $150,000 style makeover. I must say, however, that Sarah Palin does resemble a (Michigan) Wolverine, in that she's got no chance of winning anything any time soon. You know what I love? I love the answers McCain gives when he's asked about her qualifications. She's a reformer, she stood up to her the party leader in AK, and she's the most popular governor in America. Wait. The most popular? Since when has that qualified anyone for anything other than Homecoming Queen? Isn't this the same guy who slammed Obama for being a celebrity with no real experience? No better way to run a campaign than to choose a running mate who embodies all the characteristics you claim are your opponent's weaknesses.
I know it sounds like I'm banging the liberal drum here, but I'm really just stating basic logic. McCain's campaign has been run about as well as a Mike Davis offense. There's no real structure, everyone seems to be doing their own thing, and it's all counterintuitive. If the Republicans hadn't wedged their heads firmly in their own asses 3 months ago, ol' John might actually have a shot and we might not be looking at a scenario in which the Dems controlled the government. Super-bitch Nancy Pelosi and uber-liberal Harry Reid running alongside the Prez is a scary thought.
Oh, and finally, the whole thing about Palin being the most popular governor is stupid for another reason: she's only the most popular because she was chosen as McCain's running mate! Any one of 50 state leaders chosen to run on the ticket would be immediately be vaulted to the position of most popular. Good rationale, John. Real winning argument.
