The Republicans are happy with her because she draws big crowds, fires up the base, and gets after Barack Obama and Joe Biden. For Moe Lane, a diarist at RedState.com, the energy of Palin's attacks on the Democrats reminds him of "why we all did our happy dance when McCain picked Palin."
But the Democrats might have an even bigger case of happy feet because the Palin nomination is proving to be such a huge drag on John McCain's candidacy. Ameriblog and TPM flag an item in today's NBC/Wall St. Journal poll indicating that the number one concern voters have about John McCain is his nomination of someone so obviously unqualified as Palin for VP.
Now, Palin's qualifications to be president rank as voters' top concern about McCain's candidacy -- ahead of continuing President Bush's policies, enacting economic policies that only benefit the rich and keeping too high of a troop presence in Iraq.
What's even better for the left is that the talk has already started about the Republican Party nominating Sarah Palin for president in 2012.
Talk about manna from heavy.
But the people who must be happiest about Sarah Palin are the good citizens of Alaska who are glad that Palin isn't spending much time in the state anymore.
