How do social conservatives in lock step think they are going to change from Bush to McCain? And since Palin is the real candidate, eclipsing Grandpa, how is "Bush with lipstick" going to be any different?
Keith Olbermann:
“the people around [Palin] — the top-level campaign staffers crafting her message of change and reform — are almost all from the inner-circle of the same Bush campaigns and administration from which she offers that change.”
Consider your self warned. Former Bush speechwriter David Frum wrote on his National Review blog,
"George W. Bush had very slight executive experience before becoming president. His views were not well known. He won the nomination exactly in the same way that Palin has won the hearts of so many conservatives: by sending cultural cues to convince them that he was one of them, understood them, sympathized with them. So that made everything else irrelevant in 2000 - as it seems again to be doing in 2008."
