McCain's Delusions

By Ed Brayton

From an interview with Don Imus:

On Colin Powell and other Republicans doubting Palin: Asks "What's their problem?" Calls her the "most popular governor in America," lists her accomplishments in Alaska. Says Bill Clinton was "pretty much derided" when he came out of a small state to run for president. "I'm amazed."

Says just because she hasn't been to a "Georgetown cocktail party" doesn't mean she's not ready for the job. "I think she's the most qualified of anyone recently who has run for vice president to tell you the truth... I'm frankly entertained at the elitist attitude toward a person who is a proven leader."
