I wish it was online, or that I had not left my newspaper at the Liberty Elm diner, but today’s Providence Journal ran an opinion column that claims Sarah Palin is the best candidate for vice-president because Alaska is very far to the West. She’s the Westernmost candidate, clearly. I thought it was a parody, but I think it was meant to be serious. It’s getting really hard to tell lately.

From the Washington Post…

Rick Davis, campaign manager for John McCain’s presidential bid, insisted that the presidential race will be decided more over personalities than issues during an interview with Post editors this morning.

“This election is not about issues,” said Davis. “This election is about a composite view of what people take away from these candidates.”

Is a composite view what Jeff Goldblum saw after his hideous metamorphosis in the movie, ‘The Fly’? Maybe it’s what you get when you party so hard at the Convention that you see two of everything. Whatever. Stay tuned for the next wild and crazy installment of Election ’08.
