Inspired reader JT imagines a GOP primary debate in Muscatine:

Gov. Palin:  We are going to change America, change it from higher taxes, higher crime, and a quagmire in Afghanistan.
 
Fmr. Gov. Romney:  I know how to make change. I'm running on 20 years of a record of change of commitment to America and conservatism, Gov. Palin is running on the strength of a speech from four years ago.  Are we going to have change with results, or change with a teleprompter?  We know what that has gotten us.

boatrswood's remarks - the typical Obama supporter who still wants to crush Hillary. At this point, perhaps Obama supporters should think of crushing McCain. More of this far-Left abuse of Hillary won't help. Or perhaps it will help McCain.

Is that what Obama supporters really want? 4 more years of Republican government?

sleepy,

No, that's not what we want, as we've been saying for some time in our appeals for unity and in our praise of Bill and Hillary's performances in Denver. I think boatsrwood was just making a little joke in the spirit of "what-if." Frankly JT's hypothetical debate, though entertaining, seems to me equally improbable. I don't think Palin's speech last night was a career-maker. Her future depends mostly on the next eight weeks.

A word Sarah Palin failed to mention last night.
