This is a rare moment for me. Sarah, why can’t you be more like George W. Bush? His ads included all Americans, but hers included not one non-white person. Not one.
SarahPAC ad. Kind of remarkable to see a Republican ad with not a single nonwhite face in any crowd scene.
In fact, it is remarkable.
In Palin’s ad — not one. Now listen carefully to the audio, which twice warns of a “fundamental transformation of America,” twice emphasizes a threat to children and grandchildren from malign unnamed forces.
I think she’s talking about healthcare. I hope so. But she never does say so.
UPDATE: I stand corrected by Twitter follower SJ Duffield: an Indian-American woman is visible in background at 45 seconds.
I was wrong. There was one, for a fleeting second, I saw one. See for yourself, then compare it to George W. Bush’s ad which includes the rest of America.

Out of the two ads, which candidate would you vote for? You can only choose one of these. Don’t be a sneaky leftist now. You. can. only. choose. one.
