The fascination with Sarah continues:

She might just be some vacuous beauty queen, an inexperienced Caribou Barbie. Her selection may be nothing more than evidence of McCain’s desperation, senility, or perhaps insanity. But people sure are interested in learning more about her.

I’m on the www.latimes.com website right now, looking at the “Most Viewed” section:

1. Sarah PALIN style: the issue at hand
2. PALIN: wrong woman, wrong message
3. Sarah PALIN leadership style has admirers and critics
4. John McCain has found a muse in Sarah PALIN
5. On a Southern California beach, young war widows come together to grieve
6. Trig PALIN story is safe ground for the Republican ticket
7. Belarus teen staying with Petaluma family is focus of diplomatic tussle
8. Players, Pete Carroll still consider Ohio State a big threat
9. Another Iraqi casualty of war: Their waistlines
10. Sarah PALIN appeal to working-class women may be limited

6 out of the top 10. Not bad for some silly hick from the sticks.
