The Sarah Palin Mistake-- Too Late For Romney?

The New Republic posted an article today spelling out how Sarah Palin is Dan Quayle 2.0.

In less than a week, the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate has officially become a terrible miscalculation. The status of her bubble is precarious.

A week ago, the mistake was supposed to be the choice of Joe Biden instead of Hilary. But that was a shortsided knee-jerk attempt to force Obama to second guess himself.

But with the Palin wave losing steam, now more than ever, the Biden choice appears the sober, pragmatic and wise.

Further highlighting the poor judgement behind the Sarah Palin choice is Issue #1: The economy.

Mitt Romney would have provided McCain the kind of economic expertise and legitimacy of judgement he now painfully lacks. The kind of expertise that could have helped McCain run the country, not just win an election.

'Country First', right John?

Maverick my foot. You want to be a real Maverick, own up to your mistake and ditch Eagleton 2.0 for someone a little more stable.
