Oops...wrong Palin!Part of me worries that Sarah Palin's appearance on SNL tonight will help her in the polls. After all, as Mike's blog points out, Lorne Michaels may be a McCain supporter. We have all been commenting on the power of humor in this election. Sarah Palin, considering her poor relationship with the media, could really benefit from a strong performance tonight. If she is able to come across as self-deprecating and lighthearted, then she could see a bump in the polls. I hope not. Makes me think of Janet Reno's cameo on SNL--funny, but not enough for me to forgive her for Ruby Ridge and Waco. Sometimes funny is not enough.

You're right that funny is not enough. At best, it is a distraction from the reality. We want our candidates to be human, and humor is a great way to demonstrate that. However, ultimately, we want them to be capable. I loved this clip, by the way.
