Virginia Sherwood /NBC; Paul Drinkwater/NBCIf you weren't depressed enough by yesterday's political handicapping whereas our Potomac insiders said Sarah Palin, inept as she may be, is ahead visibility-wise, well, it gets worse:
"I find it interesting that when I ask my Democrat friends about Obama or Biden and their policies and positions," quipped our super-high-up White House mover 'n' shaker, "they don't really know where these guys stand or how they would lead."
Hang on, it gets more depressing, as Desk DeeCee continues with not exactly surprising scuttlebutt: "[These Democrats] know more about Sarah Palin than either of their own party's two candidates. And I think that's sad."
Me, too. Like, let's get real here, girlfriends: The only people really bitching and moaning about Palin are people who were going to vote for Obama regardless, so what's the damn point? DDC concurs: "I haven't met any undecideds who switched to Obama because of Palin. Not one. In fact, many of them are leaning toward McCain because he's stronger on defense and economics and because when it comes down to who they trust, they go with someone whose record they know, not someone who is an unknown with little national experience and no long-term relationships with other foreign leaders or captains of industry."
According to other Republican types we've checked with, in addition to Democratic hell-raisers as well (trust), one notion is hotly debated: Is this really McCain's election to lose or Obama's? Polls 'n' pundits seem to waver on that really basic Q. Let's hope Obama pulls through. So get your wife to wear chicer clothes, already, O-man, and get a little bitchier, bro, wouldya? I mean, Michelle can go back to those hideous print jobs once you move into 1600 Pennsylvania, 'K?
