More of this please from actual elected officials and democratic strategists on television. In 100 seconds, Matt Damon got to the heart of the matter. There is a very good chance that McCain will not live out his term, and we have to come to grips with what that would mean.
Damon speaks about how little we know about her, but what we can assume since we aren't allowed to see her unfiltered. Is she a young earth creationist? Her church apparently follows that philosophy.
Also the framing it as an absurd Disney movie, where the "hockey mom" from Alaska goes to DC, takes over for McCain and is given the launch codes for our nucelar arsenal as she stares down Vladimir Putin is exactly how this should be framed.
Yes, we need to talk about McCain as a candidate, his policy failures, poor proposals and what his Presidency would mean to the nation in terms of taxes, health care, and the environment. Yet at the same time, there needs to be democrats on tv, when asked about Palin to be able to frame this issue as well as a movie star was able to in this short interview.
Nuclear launch codes, the middle east, Putin, Afghanistan, and the hockey mom is not going to fly if this point is drilled (pun intended) into the casual viewers heads.
