Russ Douthat says Palin would have done much better, both personally and politically, by turning down John McCain’s Veep offer. He then, though, shows that the conservative argument that there are no great divides of socioeconomic class in America is just BS when he claims opposition to Palin was class-driven.
Taking him at his word, then the flip is true — opposition to Obama is similarly driven, with an emphasis on the “socio,” not the “economic.”
He also claims much of it was sex-driven. Now, Douthat isn’t a Neanderthal on feminist issues, but still, this one is rich.
