It's easy to make fun of a vice presidential candidate who can't seem to tell you what periodicals she reads, what Supreme Court cases she disagrees with, or who thinks the First Amendment to the Constitution assures her the right to not be criticized. But today, after seeing Sarah Palin address a rally in famously conservative York, Pennsylvania, I'm not laughing.
Palin was completely impressive, even when calling Obama a socialist.
At the end of the event, she spent at least a half hour shaking hands, walking the rope line. I asked her whether she'd be running for president in 2012. She smiled sweetly and said, "I'll be campaigning for John McCain John McCain's re-election in 2012."
NOTE: I corrected Palin's quote upon review of the audio file.

Newsflash: If you put a 10 year old girl on stage with a script prepared by political professionals she will sound impressive also.
Is it sinking in yet?
Let me guess:
You're probably not having your home foreclosed on.
Not trying to decide what to do with your unwanted pregnancy.
Don't have children that are trying to learn science (6000 years old, INDEED) in school.
Don't practice Islam.
Not Arabic.
Don't have a "Muslim"-sounding name.
Don't have relative fighting in the Middle East.
Shall I continue?
My late Grandmother once told me that at 11 she saw a horse do multiplication problems at a fair. She said that she was very impressed, it was something she remembered for the rest of her life.
That being said, I'm sure she wouldn't vote for the horse (or Sarah Palin, for that matter)!!!
Vote Obama/Biden
