#1 Nothing in these excerpts strikes me as wrong or unreasonable. If McCain couldn't get 500 people in his home state he was indeed in trouble. Obama was indeed not remotely qualified. And neither was Palin (except for family history Bush himself had not been, and he knew it) - the Palin/Guam association was simply exagerration that she was from a small (population) and isolated part of the country.

#2 Dana Perino had already debunked the "didn't even know who Palin was" anecdote over on the Corner.

#7 The sad thing about McCain was the same situation as Bob Dole. The party looked at the numbers and knew it was going to be a losing election, so let "the old guy" have a shot at it.

In McCain's case, all the other candidates bowed out at just about the same time. None of them want to be tainted as a loser, which is often, if not always, a career killer.

#8 Except in IIRC Huckabee who continued to draw support from Romney until Romney withdrew.

Huck is somewhat responsible for the bambi presidency.

#9 McLame was the nominee because the nomination process is foobar. We need to fix it before 2012.

#10 Wait til Huck works his majick in 2011. He's a snakeoil salesman, and I hope his populist shit is passe by then
