It’s Atwater/Rove Politics 101. Go after your opponent’s positives and turn them into negatives. So far, so good. While we’re on the subject, more on how God made her governor.

When you check the actuarial tables on a 72-year-old guy who’s had three bouts with cancer, you guess you may be looking at the first woman president, a hustling Evangelical with ethics issues and a chip on her shoulder who, not counting Canada, has set foot outside the country once — a trip to Germany, Iraq and Kuwait in 2007 to visit Alaskans in the armed service. And who listed a refueling stop in Ireland as a fourth country visited. She’s like the Current Occupant but with big hair. If you want inexperience, there were better choices.

Keillor is so mean. Didn’t she also go to Mexico once?
