The punditry and commentariat furious debate the pros and cons of picking Sarah Palin of Alaska as the GOP Vice Presidential candidate.
I have fearlessly ventured into a place where logic, ideology, and common sense dissipate into a fine mist: hillaryclintonforum.net, where PUMAs demonstrate just how thoroughly they don't get it.
Warning: reading this may cause seizures.

Some choice quotes:
McCain has picked PALIN!!! I am THRILLED! AS for the Dums whining that she doens't have experience running things--SHE HAS FIVE KIDS!! TRUST ME! SHE KNOWS HOW TO RUN THINGS!
And already, Palin is undercutting McCain's "experience" argument, as her partisans are reduced to equating running a household with running a country.
YES YES YES!!!! McCAIN PALIN... o happy day ... and in 2012 HRC!!!!
I anticipate when McCain and Palin win they will put HILLARY IN CHARGE OF HEALTHCARE I think McCAIN GETS HOW GREAT HILLARY IS FOR OUR COUNTRY!
Two magnificent delusions in one post. Honestly, the idea that some people actually believe this and it isn't just posturing frightens me. There are an astonishing number of posters in there who think the Republicans are actually sincere in their sympathy for Clinton and her supporters. Like this one:
The Democrats are the party of sexist pigs.
Think about it. They enjoyed trashing Hillary and yet, ironically, it was the GOP peeps out there that supported her, even Ann Coulter supported her. I've talked with so many wonderful republicans on the web that were so sympathetic during our primary. All I got was grief and harrassment from the Obamabots and vile attacks against my gender.
To top it off, Obama and the DNC threw Hillary out like yesterday's garbage, along with her 18 million supporters.
McCain/Palin welcome us with open arms.
And then we have:
IT COULD, SHOULD HAVE BEEN YOU HILLARY, BUT YOU WERE ON THE WRONG TEAM THIS TIME AROUND, YOU WERE KICKED, STABBED, RUN OVER BY YOUR OWN PARTY, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN YOU STANDING UP THERE, YOUR SPEECH SHOULD HAVE BEEN GIVEN DURING YOUR CAMPAIGN, IMO, YOUR STAFF DIDN'T DO THE HOMEWORK NECESSARY TO GET YOU WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO
BUT, NOW ITS NOT HILLARY BUT "SARAH" THE NAME I WILL SHOUT AND VOLUNTEER FOR
HILLARY YOU ARE NOW ON THE WRONG TEAM
Just because SPEAKING IN ALL-CAPS is perhaps the most annoying internet tradition around.
They are TERRIFIED! LOL! They are scrambling for something, anything, to bitch about. Just remember: she may not have as much experience as Biden, but then Obama has NO experience and he's at the top of the ticket.
Another recurring meme; Obama has "no" experience, while Palin has "some".
McCain/Palin will win this time and then in 2012 the DNC will be BEGGING Hillary to take the nomination and do battle with Palin. Hillary will have the party at her feet, begging for forgiveness for their ATROCIOUS treatment of her.
I'll never vote for another presidential ticket without a woman on it -- No Way, No How, Not Ever.
The new litmus test for earning a vote: having a vagina.
This is the worst kind of identity politics; Tinkerism, if you will, which, thankfully, didn't work so well for Tinker.
Forgive them, Lord, they know not what they do.
