McCain surprised most of us (if not Kristol) with Palin but it was a good choice. That it was a good choice is being demonstrated by the amount and even more, by the nature of so much opposition to her and reaction to her and her selection by Dem voters.

GOP voters seem to be divided but I predict the division will subside much faster than has been so with division of McCain as the nominee for President (which was not widely popular and which has been of a “default,” “survivor” attrition nature).

Well here are a few things that don't rely overly much on any partisan views to recognize.

The Surge.

Opposition to Hariet Miers

Bush needing to get rid of Rumsfeld back in 2004

Kristol predicted the Palin VP pick in June.

I only agree with Kristol about 40% of the time myself, but the man isn't an idiot and he has a good knowledge of the forces at play, he might not always read them correctly, but he knows who is involved and the general direction of their repsonses.

TMV and DISQUS Moderator:

The "general_taybac" post is clearly most offensive, obscene, etc..

I don't know what the mechanics are to flag it and have it removed, but it needs to be removed
