POLITICO: Ed Koch Backs Obama, Calls Palin "Scary."

UPDATE: Wall Street Journal: Record Contradicts Palin's 'Bridge' Claims. Remember, you may like her, but like everybody else in this race she's a politician. Don't go building a cult.

ANOTHER UPDATE: Reader Kenneth Scislaw emails:

You are puzzling. Your immediate reaction to Palin was negative and gloomy. You've clearly been dragged along to the point you are luke warm. You are now hectoring your readers about CULTS!!

Hectoring? I don't see my reaction to the Palin nomination the same way as Scislaw does, but, really, "luke warm" is about as good as I get where politicians are concerned. People think I'm a Pollyanna sometimes, but as I've noted before, it's because my expectations are low.

I do find it odd, though, that they're attacking her over the Bridge when Obama and Biden voted for it in place of funding Katrina relief with the money, as Tom Coburn wanted.
