Fallows on Palin

Just in case you care, allow me to direct you to the sanest web coverage I've seen on l'affaire Palin. That would be the work of James Fallows, whose day-job beat is China, but whose experience in politics includes a stint as a speech-writer for Jimmy Carter, enough to give him some compassion for mediocrity. Find his work here. Recall also: Underbelly opined weeks ago that she actually looked pretty good in an Alaska state debate. The real question may be whether the McCain "handlers" have so mismanaged her as to damage her spirit. I'm not at all ready to bet on who will come out winners in the Biden match, but it ought to be fun to watch.
