Sheep, My, you’re up early. Couldn’t get to sleep? Interesting eponymous nic for an evident Obama supporter. I voted for Hillary in the primary to share my bias.

I think Palin is the most appealing of the four running, As to your catalog of talking points:
Debt – my understanding is that the people of Wasilla approved the community center.
Bridge – initial support was later withdrawn.
Abuse of powers – tenuous charge at best. Sounds like she actually showed restraint in Troopergate.
Five colleges – sounds like a funds issue. Get those credits where you can. I identify.
Gibson, Couric – surely you are familiar with how the editing process an alter, elide, or truncate a person’s meaning and intent. These two are good examples.
Debate fiasco – ??? she did fine, much better than I expected based on the two hatchet jobs from Gibson and Couric.
String of conservative columnists – haven’t read them with the exception of Noonan who just seems miffed that she is no longer in the inner circle while still being in the Inner Party.

Palin seems smart enough and her debate against Biden showed an appealing Everywoman sort of quality. I’d rather listen to her for four more years than Biden blathering.

Incidentally, while your guy may win, I hope he draws mostly from Hillary’s bench. From what I know of Chicago, I don’t know that I want community organizers trying to run the country. That way lies madness.
