Among the various crackups that are occurring in this collision with the real world we call 2008 is that the Ivy League is discovering that its coinage is so debased that it is worthless. These are the guys who gave us the wall street folks that lost $1Trillion and a financial system that invested in paper with a new paradigm for managing risk rather than productive assets, and gave us a generation of political and business leaders who have never actually done anything useful in their lives.

The Ivy League is very confused that two folks they didn't credential are cleaning the clocks of folks they did credential. They cannot understand that Obama's slick style shattered into bits when struck with the hard reality of real substance. Bush - Gore or Bush - Kerry is just ivy vs ivy. Now we see Ivy vs True Grit. Someone who can speak better - so they say - but can't say anythign, someone who is smarter and better prepared - so they say - but doesn't know how to do anything, someone who understands the world - so they say - but doesn't know men's souls, or even his own soul.

It's nuance vs Regan's we win, they lose.

And all they can do is cry their nancy asses off because it is all so unfair. They were the chosen, the special elect, the self-appointed elite and who dare say otherwise.

I agree entirely with your post. With every sentence like this:

Republican propagandists will create a hero, a “real” semi-educated, white woman....

...they are digging their own graves...and it appears that they've decided to use a backhoe. Honestly, they are insulting a huge majority of voters; it appears that they are so affronted by a member of the "lower class" being appointed that they simply cannot help themselves. I hope they keep it up...LOL!
