I keep getting email from people I’ve met over the last couple months congratulating me for predicting Palin so long ago. The problem is I didn’t think I ever did in print. I touted her when asked about the veepstakes on the book tour. More recently, I did float Palin in an LA Times “charticle” in July and then again in this piece on Alaska and Alaskan corruption last month. But I’d forgotten that I touted her in the Corner. From a reader:

Jonah, I just found this Corner post from back in May where you predicted Obama would pick a boring white guy (because he’s not one) and suggested McCain pick Palin to emphasize his Western-reformer creds.
From your keyboard to the ears of heaven!

Yes: Behold the power of my punditry! Prepare for a Corner post predicting that a generous GOP donor will call me in mere minutes and offer me a seat on his corporate jet so I can get home today and miss flying through Atlanta!
