Sarah Palin and other ignorant candidates - The Washington Post
At some point while watching HBO’s absolutely smashing (and terrifying) movie “Game Change,” it occurred to me that Sarah Palin has ruined America. The movie has been scalloped out of the book by the same name and focuses on Palin, rather than on the entire 2008 presidential campaign. The decision to do so was absolutely correct. With her selection as John McCain’s running mate, American politics lost its way — and maybe its mind as well...
...So far, the Palin effect has been limited to the GOP. Surely, though,
there lurks in the Democratic Party potential candidates who have seen
Palin and taken note. Experience, knowledge, accomplishment —
these no longer may matter. They will come roaring out of the left
proclaiming a hatred of all things Washington, including compromise. The
movie had it right. Sarah Palin changed the game.
The lurker in the Democratic Party has already become President.
