Well ... I know some who thought they understood, but they're not people I normally consider very ... ummm ... bright or educated. Sure don't know how you held back the giggles, though ... OMG!!! "...the reason she gave an incorrect answer was that she was speaking to a child. “What was she going to say?” that the Vice President sits around and “waits for people to die?” I'm dying here!!! That may actually have been the first thought that crossed her mind when the question was asked! Can't say how many times I've watched parts of the Couric interview and wondered why the media was being SO nice to Palin about it ... something that normally wouldn't have happened to a male candidate of either party. As for Jesse Jackson crying after the election, though ...? That was probaby because he figured any chance of being in Obama's circle of appointeees pretty much ended with his comment about wanting to cut something off--remember that one? Jackson, it seems, was (maybe still is) clinging to the concept that African Americans just wouldn't/couldn't vote for someone who had chastised blacks for many of their own problems.

While there is a part of me that would like to see Sarah succeed because of the story of a small town woman making it big on the national scene, Sarah needs more than a few Shucks and Betchas to convince people she could manage the country. Her insatiable lust for media exposure is her downfall. Good job!

You have the patience of a Saint and an iron will. How you did it without puking or laughing out loud is beyond me. Well done. Great job of reporting and writing.
