Observation: Isn't there a weird schizophrenia to the scripted convention: all the recycled culture wars stuff from last night delivered by Palin, vs. McCain tonight trying to project qualities of being reasonable and seasoned and post-partisan? It doesn't feel like the same ticket.

Sarah Palin's convention speech message is that at some fundamental level, she's all about dividing the country along old culture lines and resentments. McCain's is that at some fundamental level, that's not what he's about. Cognitive dissonance.
