This is the kind of campaign tenor Sarah Palin will be bringing to our state today:
I'm sure the media will be covering in detail each section of Palin's "My Stunning Lack of Qualifications Lost New Hampshire's Four Electoral Votes for McCain" tour, but it's still important, if you are attending any of these events tomorrow, to bring your impressions here if you can. Documenting the horror show that the McCain campaign has become is ugly, but important, work. Future historians will want to know what the Republican party looked like when it ended.
Adding: since Sarah Palin started pallin' around with inciting hate, there have been some incidents locally that have given me pause: someone threatened while canvassing a couple of towns over, a prominently displayed Confederate flag that popped up next to a Republican sign (not a McCain one), and a large Obama sign, the kind that has his photo on it, that, instead of being stolen or defaced, was set on fire. That last incident is being treated as a possible hate crime (or so says the Valley News article from two Tuesdays ago that I can't find an online version of). Obviously there is no way to conclude that the new, devious atmosphere of the McCain-Palin campaign has triggered this ugliness, but the fact that we even have to talk about it shows how little honor is left at the top of the Republican ticket.
