In an intersting example of my own reality tunnel-vision, I had to read that like 3 times before I didn't see it as "She was killed."

Wishful thinking.

I dunno, the debate would have been pretty awesome if she had literally murdered Biden in front of the cameras.

That's the image in my head.

Pretty obvious, but check out the hate in the comments.  Also, she cheerleaded some of this on, which is what really makes it interesting.

Democrats and other critics distracted by her winks may have missed the message, but Palin's target audience heard it loud and clear. She is like the high-pitched whistle only dogs can hear. While Democrats heard non-answers, superfluous segues and cartoon words -- shout-out, I'll betcha, doggone, extra credit -- Republicans heard God, patriotism, courage, victory.

It's called code, and Republicans are fluent.

It isn't just the "maverick" word, which we now may consign to the Cliche Crematorium. Sprinkled throughout Palin's remarks were phrases that set the free associative mind in motion...

A television audience won't remember facts -- and most won't race to FactCheck.org -- but they'll remember impressions. Palin successfully conveyed to those she was targeting that she is a Ronald Reagan-ish outsider who puts God and country first. And The Other is just like that elitist, flip-flopping John Kerry.

That's a plateful of imagery and a buffet of touchstones familiar to those who distrust "elitists" and who recognize in Palin a kindred regularness.

OH SHI-  She just gave away the whole Karl Rove playbook there, didn't she?

McCain messes up, calls everyone "My fellow prisoners":

Maybe McCain is just a fan of the BIP?
