Say it Ain't So Joe

Joe Lieberman introduced Sarah Palin at a rally today in Florida. During his introduction, TNR reports that he stated:

"She's so strong, she's so capable, she's so competent," Lieberman told the cheering crowd. Emphasizing her "faith," he added that she is someone who "with your help--and God's help--will be the next vice president of the United States."
The religiousity continued when Palin bounded onstage. She commented right away on the number of American flags in the crowd, declaring: "God bless America--you guys get it!"


While I should attack Lieberman and Palin for arguing thaqt this election concerns the choices of G-d rather than human agency and the colossal mistakes by humans, maybe they are right in understanding that it will take divine intervention at this point.

In addition: Earlier, I discussed Kristol's column in which he argues that Palin/ McCain need to tar and feather their opponents. In this piece, Kristol quotes Palin discussing tomorrow's debate, saying McCain should "take the gloves off." TNR makes a good point: "Wouldn't a real hockey mom recommend that McCain "drop the gloves"?"

You betcha!!!
