He also didn't bring the hate. Palin brings the hate and talks the government-is-the-problem talk, which is why they liked her. But she's not moving the poll needle in the GOP's direction, and that's the reason -- that's the <i>only</i> reason -- they're shunning her now. If she'd pulled McCain permanently into a 6-point lead, they'd be falling all over themselves to explain why it's good that she has no qualifications and no brain.
