Until a few weeks ago, Sarah Palin didn’t need to formulate policy responses to how to track al-Qaeda and Taliban in Pakistan, or think about the benefits and drawbacks of the health care reform proposal Mitt Romney put forth in Massachusetts, or determine where to draw the line in interrogation of captured terrorists, or assess how the nation as a whole should respond to a globalized economy or come up with how to deal with a Wall Street meltdown. What she did need to know – energy policy, tax policy, some social policy areas – she knows fine and can articulate her views at length.The question is, how fast can Palin build on that knowledge base? What’s her learning curve? If, God forbid, she had to take office in February 2009, there would be understandable concern. A year later, she’d have a much broader range of policy knowledge. Two years later, it would be even broader, and by 2012, she would be as versed in national policy as almost anybody in Washington.
The bolded language is amazing to me. Geraghty is talking about his candidate dying and it doesn't really seem to faze him.
The base's glib attitude towards McCain's well-being is odd.
...Speaking of, Romney-humper Dean Barnett did a McCain Dead Pool... in May '07.
That's why they pay him the big bucks.
