Douthat gets Palin half right



Russ Douthat says Palin would have done much better, both personally and politically, a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/06/opinion/06ross.html"by turning down John McCain’s Veep offer/a. He then, though, shows that the conservative argument that there are no great divides of socioeconomic class in America is just BS when he claims opposition to Palin was class-driven.br /br /Taking him at his word, then the flip is true — opposition to Obama is similarly driven, with an emphasis on the “socio,” not the “economic.”br /br /He also claims much of it was sex-driven. Now, Douthat isn’t a Neanderthal on feminist issues, but still, this one is rich.div class="blogger-post-footer"There is no god and I am his prophet.img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7532871-4429420406804645703?l=socraticgadfly.blogspot.com'//div
