I really like Sarah for the spirit and verve. I'd have reservations about her maturity as a leader, and I certainly get the willies from pols who can talk of "God's will" and government policy in the same breath. All that said, I'd absolutely love to see her grow into the job. Jesse, you probably mean minority.

I can tell you that I read Al Jazeera snd Ha'aretz every week. I read Roger Simon (albeit not 'print') and the NYTimes. I read the Toronto Star and the Globe and Mail. Called me confused. Call me undecisive, but at least I am aware of my surroundings. Palin is not aware of much around her. Ignorance is sometimes misjudged as innocence. Now, does one have to be able to list all of their daily activities - quickly and concisely - to please me or you, or the MSM 'elite'? No they don't. Just don't be surprised when, I, an interested everyday Joe is proud to be informed, and she clearly is unable to answer the most simple question. That's just my opinion. I'm aware I'm a vast majority on here. She lost me in the backstage Couric interview. I can tell you that I read Al Jazeera snd Ha’aretz every week.

I ask them whether they would have voted for McCain in that instance--of course not! I was a Romney backer in the primary and have some real misgivings about McCain. I think Sarah Palin is great, and I now support McCain--or the ticket, anyway--strongly. And most of my less elitist friends--who think Bush is the moron that the MSM has cast him as, and usually vote Dem--say they think Sarah is great. BTW--I attended a small New England liberal arts college and a top-10 law school. For the life of me, I can't figure out what makes the elitists--most of all the Republicans--tick. I'm keeping my fingers crossed until Wednesday. My Ivy-league Democrat friends have taken to informing me that Palin is a “drag on the ticket” and that McCain should have picked Romney.

I'm a professional woman who truly appreciates this woman who came from ordinary roots, not an Ivy League background, and not on her husband's coattails, and it is infuriating to hear her being bashed by 'elites' of every stripe.

She may have not gone to an Ivy League school, but she kept plugging away until she got her degree. Funny thing is that most women in America can't afford to go to Harvard, and have done quite well (and maybe even better) in state universities; or needed to transfer to another school; or even taken off a year or two, then continued their studies. The feminists claimed that a woman could have it all: career, family, home, etc. They never revealed so blatantly that they also meant that you had to adhere to the dogma of the elitists within the feminist movement, until Sarah Palin came onto the national scene. There was no room for difference of opinion. If you were a person of faith, you had to leave it behind and embrace the secularism of the movement.

Palin was the type of girl in high school that the gender feminists hated - she was very pretty and a jock. They could comfort themselves with the knowledge that they would be going to better schools and undoubtedly come out better in life. Only they didn't. Sure, the feminists may have attended Ivy League universities while Palin was competing in beauty contests to win scholarship money to lower tier schools. However, Palin is the one who married the hunky but supportive guy. She entered politics and was elected many times, first at the city level, then as governor, and finally (to date) picked to be Vice President on the Republican ticket. That just wasn't supposed to happen! "Pretty but dumb" Palin was supposed to end up in some trailer park (in the feminists' fantasies), not come out better than virtually all of the feminists. Noooooooooooooooooooo! So of course they hate her. I think I finally understand the visceral hatred that gender feminists have for Sarah Palin.

The MSM allowed the most vile things to be said about her. Inpuning her integrity, her faith, her family and even her marriage; yet they kept their hands off Biden and Obama's public records, even when their own words and deeds (or lack of them) were right in front of them. If Obama wins, watch out for a massive funding of Palin's opponent in the 2010 Governor's race by the DNC and Soros' groups. She will have to be either voted out of office (depending upon how many 'Jimmy Johns' ACORN can sign up), or the MSM will cook up another 'scandal'. Palin is the face and voice for the average worker, and Obama and the MSM will do all they can to destroy her.
