I'll keep it brief because I need to scram but feel this is important to share. Murphy felt that this will energize a base McCain mostly would have had on election day but worries that if the Palin as a fundamentalist comes out it will hurt among independents -- the two big worries for MM is how right wing Palin is on choice issues (no abortion even in the case of rape and incest) and that she does not believe in evolution.
By the way -- when you hear people say that she knows something about energy remind them that we can't trust her on energy because she does not believe is science -- she does not believe global warming is man made and does not believe in evolution --- how can we create new jobs and industry with a VP who thinks science is just a point of view?
