The cover story of the latest Newsweek that I have received deals with the choice of Sarah Palin as John McCain's running mate, her impact on the race thus far, and what such a candidacy means for our country. In The Palin Problem, Jon Meacham offers what I believe is one of the best essays from the mainstream press on just what a failure the choice has been politically for McCain, as well as what the choice actually says about a too-large minority of Americans... and thus about the (poor) health of our democracy. Do not miss it.
Another recent Newsweek column, this one by Fareed Zakaria the week prior, also dealt with Palin. It, too, is worth a read and let's just say that Mr. Zakaria doesn't think that McCain put "country first."
