Beldar on Palin

Beldar will be guest blogging at Hugh Hewitt, at least until the election.

Here is an introductory post, with all kinds of neat stuff.

Among other things, Palin was not a surprise to people who were paying attention (which seems not to include many journalists).

My own online research into Gov. Palin, as an exercise in blogger curiosity, began back in early June of this year: Prompted by memories of Fred Barnes' excellent July 2007 article on Gov. Palin in the Weekly Standard, I ended up then with a 1900-word post, the central theme of which was that she would be a "grand slam" as John McCain's Veep. That became the first in what's now a series of fifty-six posts (chronologically indexed here) that I've written on Gov. Palin.
