    "We believe that the best of America is not all in Washington, D.C. ...

    "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008

      excellent

      I don't know what McCain was thinking when he took her as his running mate. Unless he felt this "little Lady" was the answer to Hilary Clinton. I took as an insult to intelligent women everywhere. Every time she spoke I was left there thinking WHAT???!!!??
      No wonder they kept her bottled up,she was embarassing to herself and McCain.

        funny story

        When she was first announced as the VP candidate I didn't see anything wrong with her... she seemed fairly reasonable.

        Then she started giving interviews... and I had a very "Oh, that's what you were talking about!" moment.

    I wonder, too.

    I guess I just don't see how anyone can say Palin was a legitimate candidate for VP after everything she said.

    .....too, after everything she couldn't say because she had no flippin clue.

    How can people - like the verified expert on nothing Suzanne Venker from this very site - say she was great for this country? I just don't get it.
