One of the most fascinating things in this election is the recent sequence of events with McCain's VP nomination. It has been such a comedy of errors and strange unconnected events, including the person nominated, that we are now seriously considering such conspiracies. That in itself is extraordinary.

There has been no comedy of errors, unless you are calling the fact that Governor Palin is a human being with human limitations just like every other man and woman on earth a comedy of errors.

No, no, no. The comedy of errors is the Obama campaign trying to smear Palin because her daughter is pregnant. That after they launched an unsuccessful smear campaign based upon maliciously manufactured lies that her son was in fact her grandson.

The comedy of errors is the fact that members have said that Sarah Palin's children are a disadvantage to her when it comes to holding office.

The only people "seriously considering conspiracies" over these family attacks are salacious, conniving types. People who would use a 17 year old girl's pregnancy as political fodder. Well, not everyone considers pregnancy a "mistake", as BO does.

If you can prove that the Obama campaign is trying to smear Palin we would all love to see it. If anything the comedy of errors is the McCain campaign scrambling to cover the tracks of Sarah Palin after announcing her as the VP nominee.

Ms Palin is now being spoken of as a disastrous choice that reflects badly on Mr McCain’s judgment
...
Mr McCain is rumoured strongly to have wanted Mr Lieberman as his running-mate before being forced to look elsewhere in the face of entrenched opposition from conservatives. His choice of Mrs Palin was unexpected and, despite insisting yesterday that “the vetting process was completely thorough”, it has become increasingly apparent that his campaign had time for only a cursory examination of her credentials.

At cocktail parties around the twin cities of Minneapolis-St Paul this week, Republicans made whispered references to Harriet Miers, who was nominated for the Supreme Court before being dropped unceremoniously by Mr Bush amid widespread ridicule of her expertise.
