Why 12-year-olds shouldn't blog.


One more time, Sherman, into the wayback machine to check in on 12-year-old Blogging Tory "Hunter":

What was gained? Nothing, except showing how scared the lefties are of Sarah Palin.

Yes, Hunter, we're scared. Terrified, in fact. How terrified? This terrified:

Palin’s drag on the ticket?

Fifty-five percent of respondents say [Palin]’s not qualified to serve as president if the need arises, up five points from the previous poll.

In addition, for the first time, more voters have a negative opinion of her than a positive one. In the survey, 47 percent view her negatively, versus 38 percent who see her in a positive light.

That’s a striking shift since McCain chose Palin as his running mate in early September, when she held a 47 to 27 percent positive rating.

And here's the money quote:

Now, Palin’s qualifications to be president rank as voters’ top concern about McCain’s candidacy - ahead of continuing President Bush’s policies, enacting economic policies that only benefit the rich and keeping too high of a troop presence in Iraq.

That's right, kids -- the fact that voters see Palin as a vapid, airheaded, incompetent, hate-filled wingnut is now the biggest problem the McCain campaign has.

Go on, Hunter ... tell us again how scared we are. I need the entertainment.

I didn't think it was possible for anyone to make George W Bush look good by comparison, but Caribou Barbie did it.
