McCain Claims Palin Knows More About Energy…

…than any other person in the United States of America!

At least he didn’t say “the world.”

UPDATE:
The whole interview…

Do note how McCain claims that Palin was right on all these foreign policy stances that I don’t think we’ve ever heard her talk on the record about until recently.

He also repeats the talking point that Alaska is right next to Russia as if it’s foreign policy experience.

More as it develops…

    Everybody is so focused on Sarah Palin right now, but stuff like this illustrates why the fact that John McCain hasn’t done a press conference in almost a month is probably a more important story.

    Sarah Palin will do enough to make it though her interviews. Everybody is looking at her through a prism right now anyway. Those who already don’t like her, will be incredulous at her answers. Whereas, those who’ve embraced her as a star, will think that “Sarah” did just fine … expecially considering how “unfairly out to get her” the press is.

    McCain on the other hand, has his name on a campaign whose (negative) style he’s clearly not entirely comfortable with … and on top of that, he’s got a running mate, who when you get right down to it, he doesn’t know much more about than any of the rest of us.

    John McCain is the “weak link” of that ticket right now … and if he’s not careful it will show through in the debates.

    Say what you will about the troubles that Obama seems to be having since the Palin pick. But ultimately, they haven’t changed their (major) strategy, or their message, in pretty much the entire year and half they’ve been running.

    I would suspect that will help going into a series of make or break debates.

    Just my opinion … time will tell.
