Hope that actually makes us, y'know, hopeful

Craig, a commenter at Althouse, says it well:

I'm a Republican. Virtually my whole life Congress was controlled by the Democrats. The few years recently when the Republicans were in power was devastating. They were almost as corrupt as the Democrats. If you think, as I, that corruption is the big problem in Washington than Sarah's selection gives us hope for real change. I also think McCain has a pretty good record here. Foreign affairs experience? Biden has it and look at the mistakes he's made. (Against kicking Iraq out of Kuwait and for partitioning Iraq-i.e. giving part to Iran and committing the rest to horrific bloodletting) It's like my gym teacher used to say: "Practice doesn't make perfect if you practice the wrong thing." Some people, like Biden, will never get it right. They don't have a clue.
