Houndgirl ..... Okay, I misunderstood you. My apology.

Palin is as knowledgeable as 40-plus other governors on non-state/domestic issues.

One tragedy will be necessary for her to succeed in politics outside of Alaska however. She will need to become cynical and aware of how ugly the people are who mean to destroy her and people like her family and friends.

To bad such 'evil people' can't just say to themselves "that Palin is different from them."

And then leave it at that!
