Where? It's reckless and careless at the very least.She screwed up her state, now she wants to work on the lower 48? If you'd pass your kids over to someone that quickly, someone ought to call CPS.Shame. Maur…got it wrong! It’s NOT because she’s a woman, it’s because she’s an UNQUALIFIED woman.

Couldn't bring themselves to do that after being called challenged to do so and being openly accused of lying about said Clinton support, but instead just accused her accusers of being ignorant. So many of these people claiming to Democrats voting for McCain are so obviously members of the 19% or so that think Bush is teh bestest preznit evah! They're so divorced from all Democratic ideals they can't even properly fake sincerity. I am certain that, on the average, <em>never in the history of our country</em> have the members of ANY political party been as stupid and intellectually DISHONEST as current day Republicans. You know, Palin might actually be among the best the GOP has to offer right now; Americans that actually care about the country and aren't total idiots have already left the GOP. They're left with idiots and those whose belief system differs in no appreciable way from the textbook definition of fascism.

PUNXSUTAWNEY PALIN!!! PUNXSUTAWNEY PALIN!!! Who’s your favorite weather-predicting rodent? That’s right! It’s Punxsutawney Phil, the groundhog that totally ROCKS!! Punxsutawney Borough in Pennsylvania has basically the same population as Wasilla, Alaska, 6,000+ souls. The current mayor there in Phil’s backyard is James Wehrle. I don’t know the first thing about James Wehrle, but will assume he’s a good man and a fine, respected mayor, and I wish him many successful years in office. QUESTION FOR YA: With no disrespect meant towards Mayor Wehrle, would you want Mr. Wehrle a heartbeat away from the presidency this coming January 20th? Would you want Mr. Wehrle staring down Vladimir Putin at the negotiating table? Would you want Mr. Wehrle’s hand on the nook-u-ler trigger? PUNXSUTAWNEY PALIN!!! PUNXSUTAWNEY PALIN!!!
