It seems to already be working...the bait that is.
I posted this to my blog last night and within 12 hours had I one on the line.
Posted at A World of Progress on the selection of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate:
More of The Same
So, Sarah Palin it is then.
I realize a well documented hatred of "liberals" goes a long way on a right-wing resume, but really, I think this country needs a little more inclusion than that right now.
Can we get to the debating soon? Cause as ugly and ridiculous as the right's prejudiced, hypocritical, elitist platform is, Americans need to see it in all its non-glory. Obama and Biden are no angels, not many of us are, but at least they are willing to allow an inclusive progressive dialog.
I think Sarah Palin has made it clear that she sees no need for that in this country.
Not too much later....What's that tugging on my line in the comments?

"how is choosing a well-accomplished woman prejudiced, hypocritical, and elitist?
You have progressive plastered all over your blog yet a woman isn't progressive enough for you? Someone who's an outsider to Washington isn't progressive enough for you? I'd say it's a more progressive choice than Biden wouldn't you?"

Smooth hooked.
My reply:
Sometimes there is progressive and sometimes it is just bait designed like any good lure should be, its aim is to leave your critical thinking skills helplessly hooked by the lip. I personally believe many women were hooked by the same shiny "look it is a woman" lure with Hillary Clinton as well.
Given the conservative philosophy and history I really don't think we are witnessing any evolutionary leaps in consciousness here. What I do think we are seeing is Paulin being used by the very ideology she subscribes to.
Evolution is a b*tch.
Peace y'all
