For the next 50 years, the Palin Test will be asked of every person aspiring to elected office, from dog catcher to President.
The Palin Test will be so fundamental to American culture it will move beyond politics into business, science, and education. The idea that you could put someone as mentally disturbed as John McCain into the Oval office as of August 2 ( and I am being generous) reveals something about you as well. In fact, it reveals all anyone needs to know about you to determine if you are qualified for the position you hold or the position you seek.
The Test is simply this " If you were following the presidential election in the year 2008 and owned a computer with internet access, and still supported Palin for V.P. after Labour Day you do not qualify to catch dogs."
Full Stop.
Anyone known to have been within ten feet of a computer who answers "No" will be eyed suspiciously.
I know some people will think I am joking but I am dead serious.
Anyone who questions the outcome of this race at this point is not paying attention either.
The selection of Palin not only sealed the Presidency for Barack Obama but will destroy the GOP for a generation or more and if Obama plays his cards right while in office, maybe conservatism as a movement as well.
Barack Obama actually won this thing a long time ago – the actual date is uncertain but historians might focus on how he stemmed the tide in Philadelphia. "The Pick" was just confirmation of that fact but it has the potential for more far lasting effects.
Dont get me wrong he could still lose the race but only if he ditched Joe Biden and put Brittney Spears on the ticket... or maybe Dennis Kucinich in drag and blackface. Even then I am not so sure.
The fact that John McCain made it this far in the first place is indicative of a sickness in American culture which needs to be expunged. The Obama Presidency will hopefully go a long way towards removing this cancer that threatens the entire future of humanity.
