I had a feeling this is what Republicans really thought...

------------------------------------------------------------------------
From Huff Post:

Wall Street Journal columnist and former Reagan speechwriter Peggy Noonan and former John McCain adviser, Time columnist, and MSNBC contributor Mike Murphy were caught on tape disparaging John McCain's selection of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin as his Vice Presidential running mate.

"It's over," Noonan said.

When Chuck Todd asked her if this was the most qualified woman the Republicans could nominate, Noonan responded, "The most qualified? No. I think they went for this political bullshit about narratives. Every time the Republicans do that, because that's not where they live and that's not what they're good at, they blow it."

Murphy characterized the choices as "cynical" and "gimmicky."

You could almost tell the Republicans were passing out talking points on what to say about Palin so they could show a united front in support of her. A good portion of people I know thought it was a lousy choice by McCain.... yet somehow not one Republican seemed to have one bad word to say about it. A lot of them were even saying it's the "best choice" he could have made. Really? No one out there that might be a little more qualified? It's almost laughable. Then again, I guess honesty isn't exactly the best policy in politics.
