The spin's on you, because in your foolish haste to post his statement, you missed the reason why he said it's "suicide" for the GOP to pick Palin.
That reason is, "We already have a training-wheel president; we don't need another one!".
In his view, Palin is just as inexperienced and would be just as inept as OBAMA IS NOW.
As for your chirping about Savage's quip on Palin's lack of originality, let's just say it's a swipe at Palin for argument's sake.
It doesn't take away from the fact (which you keep ducking) is that his major criticism IS ON OBAMA. Why?
He believes that we need an experienced president to deal with the problems we face. He stated he likes Palin and thinks she's nice enough. But, she can't run the country, just as the current president can't run the country, either.
