[Vision2020] In Sonia v. Sarah, GOP is doomed

[Kenneth Marcy]

From Toronto, Ontario, Canada at The Globe and Mail, Margaret Wente writes:

The Democrats have Sonia Sotomayor. The Republicans have Sarah Palin. That's 
all you really need to know. Between them, these two women explain why the 
Republicans are doomed.

Sonia Sotomayor, a Latina who grew up in a Bronx housing project, is a shoo-in 
for the Supreme Court. Barack Obama knew exactly what he was doing when he 
picked her. She is a symbol of Hispanic aspirations in a country where 
Hispanics are an increasingly powerful political force. She's known for her 
ferocious drive and work ethic and, despite what you may hear, she appears to 
be a moderate. She represents the American dream in action. The Republicans 
hate her.

Sarah Palin was the most scarily incompetent vice-presidential nominee in the 
history of the United States. She graduated from the University of Idaho, 
where she majored in communications (still not her strong suit). She 
represents the Peter Principle in action. The Republicans love her.

Guess which one has been attacked by Karl Rove for not having the intellect 
for the job? That's right. Sonia Sotomayor.
