swift or not so much?

Until a few weeks ago, I was perhaps the last person I knew who had a shred of respect for Jane Swift, our accidental governor. Now, not so much. A Boston Globe article says:

Citing the remarkable similarities in their biographies, the former acting governor of Massachusetts this week signed up as a leader of Republican efforts to defend the record of Alaska's governor, Sarah Palin. Swift, 43, was tapped by Republican presidential nominee John McCain to lead a "truth squad" defending his 44-year-old vice presidential pick.

Speculation is that Swift is angling for a position in a McCain government. Good luck to her.
