We Hardly Knew Ye…

Sarah Palin drops out.  Her pick as VP was catastrophic, and her disastrous interviews reinforced the image of know-nothing, clueless Republicans.  She could have used her position as governor to build something, but she’s now given up that option.

This is great.  Momentum is moving away from the eccentric crazies–the Sanfords and Palins–and towards the pragmatic statemen–the Romneys and Daniels of the world.  They need to win if the Republicans will ever lift themselves out of this slump.  The next step would be to get rid of the O’Reilleys of the world.
