I believe Palin's mind is still in 'La-La' land. From a 'hockey mum' as she likes to call herself to VP is more than a dream for her,
so the big smile I am not surprised about, whilst I would love to see a Women running the strongest country of the world- I can not see Palin in that position, maybe she is too much of an 'average mum' to be VP. Nonetheless, her stunning appearance and lovable smile has managed to 'electrify' the Republican ticket, which at some point was almost dorment.
This whole Palin thing is upsetting my stomachion.
Further, the Obama Camp has lost steam because of the attention she is getting.
And her so called "Euopean Viewpoint" is so out dated that I couldn't help thinking on her son the soldier on the cover of yesterday's NYPost.
She's dressed sans Red in a blue and white "uniform" and he's in his. He's looking like the soldier stud that he is and that's only a compliment. We all hope that he'll return and soon.
But why does she play on our fears of War and Where are we going? Is War good for the Economy?
Or is the Economy because of the War?
Does she have enough money to buy that ranch out in Wyoming or does she already have a place in Alaska? Are we following the eye and if so, what or who is it? Maybe I've givin' up this year. Maybe I'll hope for next. The Republicans have let the Democrats play their own cards this year. We are all democrats. We love everyone and we have the guilt to prove it.
But there's always next time.
Who should we follow if Mr Obama succumbs to America?
By the way, I haven't seen the press print any details on Barack Obama's foreign travels. We might be surprised to learn that they are not as extensive as pre-President Bush's.
Sir, You have repeated a central piece of left-wing false propaganda about George W. Bush's pre-presidential travel. He had travelled quite extensively to many countries including: China, Japan, Britain, Italy, Israel and your own country, Spain, among others. See this article from the Washington Post: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/27/AR2007112702619.html
Regardless of one's feelings about Bush's Presidency, as a leading journalist you have a responsibility to print the facts and not perpetuate lies and falsehoods. Shame on you.

I am very angry about all these attacks on Sarah Palin's foreign policy experience. For your information, she owns a Germany shepherd and a Pekingese for years. So we know that she speaks German and Chinese at least. She is also known to eat French fries more than twice a month.

The Republican smear machine is ugly. No matter how much lipstick you put on the machine, it smells stinky Rovian.
The 'man' from Harvard is cognizant of the Republicans Weapons of Mass Distraction, Paline is one such WMDistraction.
