Palin vs. Gibson, round three; Update: I think Obama regrets not picking Hillary, says Palin

This was very smart strategy by Palin! Does Obama regret not picking Hillary?

HOTAIR-We’re two hours away from World News Tonight but the first excerpts are up and I figured you’d want a thread to comment. Interesting that they’re transcribing simple verbal hiccups like at the beginning here:

SARAH PALIN: It has always been an embarrassment that abuse of the ear form — earmark process has been accepted in Congress. And that’s what John McCain has fought. And that’s what I joined him in fighting. It’s been an
embarrassment, not just Alaska’s projects. But McCain gives example after example after example. I mean, every state has their embarrassment.

Their description of yesterday’s interview is interesting too, which isn’t to say it’s incorrect:
The comfort she showed when talking about a proposed pipeline that would supply the lower 48 states with natural gas from Alaska, contrasted sharply with her generally rote talking points on national security during the day’s first interview with Gibson.

While we wait, here’s a new ad from Citizens United comparing her Iraq prayer to comments made by other “Christianists” through the ages.

    Sen. Clinton for VP?

    Well, at least we can now confirm Gov. Putin, er, Palin knows nothing about national politics.

    Why do you think Hillary was a bad pick for Obama?

  4. David O'Rear says:

    One doesn’t pick a running mate based on demographics these days. We need co-presidents, people who can take on some of the major policy areas and run them with the full confidence of the president.

    Hillary would have been an excellent co-president, but only on the top of the ticket. I don’t think she would have been an assest as No. 2, and having Bill around would have been even more difficult.

    .

    Of course, Sen. McCain doesn’t see it that way, as he has stated so very clearly. VP is a job with “official duties,” not real responsibility.

    .

    By the way, has anyone seen anything on how Gov. Palin might perform in the US Senate !?!?
