Sarah knows there are 50 states and she never claimed to be a Muslim. She never hung around with terrorists, "hate America" preachers, Communist poets or Muslim America haters (Farrakhan) and she has always been proud of the USA and is a hunter & outdoor sportsman. If the "Metros" of the big cities can't handle her..that is their stupidity..perhaps after 3 or 4 years of socialism, some of them may be ready for a bit of "down-to-earthism"
The McCain handlers blew it..they tried the "country club" (TM would say Neo-con)
route one more time and it has failed again, they tried to pretend to be "above the fray" while politics is a dirty, blood&mud business. They really screwed up, so they are looking for a scape-goat. I am not ready to accept the idea from some pre-biased reporter, that Palin is less bright than any of the other three. In fact, the most important trait for any president is noble character, and Sarah has more than the other 3 put together.
Now of course, the Democrats realize just how appealing she is and are trying to neutralize her with their usual lies and innuendos.
I may be wrong, but it seems Rush & Hannity had little trouble with Palin (don't listen to the others)..but with McCain was much like the rest of us, only really endorsed him as a final effort to keep the Socialist/Marxists out of the White House.
