As the GOP sets out to scrub-clean Palin after the vet, HuffPost coins Microsoft to note:

“So with a party brand as damaged as the GOP’s is right now, lack of experience isn’t a bug, it’s a feature.”

Some say it’s all a Rove tactic to get through the convention – not sure I believe that, but one has to wonder how truly excited McCain is going into the home stretch. Clearly ironic though for McCain to flush “experience” as his calling card.

Course the wisdom is he had no choice. With the historic speech from Barack last week – even Reagan’s campaign director Ed Rollins called it the best acceptance speech in political history – on every front McCain has an uphill battle.
