give it a break already. I do not really care if she is the grandmother or mother of Trig. I don't care that she posed nude 20 years ago. I do not care if she knows who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance. Heck, I didn't know who wrote it.
But what I do care about is if she misused her position as Governor to take care of personal family things. That is important to me. Not because I will ever vote for her, but because that is an issue that should be brought out to help the Senator Obabma become President.
Not one of us on this board is a Saint. We have all done something that in hindsight we might not do again. For those of us who were actually adults 20 years ago in the 80's...we might have done things that...well...take fashion for instance, now that should have been a crime.
There are plenty of issues that Democrats can use against Palin without seeming to be drudging up dirt on her. I am so not interested in she did that or she did that other thing approach as it is negative.
There is something commendable about the woman who has 5 kids and is Governor of Alaska. That is great. Little girls can see that they too can have a family and a career in Politics. That is a positive thing. Her political failings should be what we concentrate on.
But really...in the scheme of things, it is McCain that we should really concentrate on. She is a distratcion from issues that are important.
I know she was just announced for the VP slot so there will be a certain amount of feeding frenzy. But I hope, starting next week that we put our eye back on the ball. Senator Obama for President.
I do not know why McCain picked her. I have heard that he was pressured by the powerful religious right. If he is so Maverick, he should have picked Lieberman as his VP. Now that would have been interesting to watch pundits head explode. I watch with popcorn.
I can't wait for Novemeber.
