I also hold McCain's group at fault as well by not giving her a crash course in politics, political names and heads of states, and clearly a better course on geography. Perhaps McCain's group believed she would know the difference between countries and states, and would have known some of the names of Europe's leaders, and the politics of different countries, aside from being able to see a country from her front porch.

What I do find interesting, actually ironic, was her statement just before the night of the election was that the decision re: president would be "God's Will" and then not completely accepting the election victory as graciously as propounding "God's Will". I think it can be difficult to have it both ways, being religiously gracious and then the sour grapes.

I must say, however, that McCain handled his loss graciously and I was actually impressed with him when, speaking with his followers and the boos and anger became apparent from that crowd, that McCain stopped them at least 5 times and one could even see the frustration in McCain's eyes with that crowd because they were borderline angry. I did not see that same support and bi-partianship from Palin. To me, that says a lot about a person and their true stand on things.

Just my opinion for whatever it is worth.

In my book your opinion is worth more than most in this thread. I don't think she was ready for the national stage when she was selected VP. My guess is that she was happy doing what she does in Alaska and had no plans for doing anything more than running Alaska. She has now tasted the national scene and I am sure she will be better prepared in 2012. She speaks the message that true conservatives love to here. I just don't think the true conservatives can muster up enough people to elect her unless she softens some of her stances. I don't think anyone hates or fears her. That's just a right wing thing to work up the base.

Liberals are afraid of women with disipline and morals. They think a real women burns her bra and gets jobs like their husbands. Liberals are dumb, and don't know what a good homecooked meal and clean and tidy house is like.

That is why they are afraid of a women like Sarah!

So you choose a candidate to vote for, or you think that most others do so, based on the candidate's beauty? If so, are you still in high school?

Wow! Did you just wake up from a 40 year coma or something!

Personally, I am not impressed with Sarah because the only topic that she can talk about is HERSELF!

Uh, wasn't Sarah pregnant when she got married? So much for "moral".

So really, it's just flat-out jealousy based hatred. And if it wasn't obsessive to the point of psychosis, they would have long since forgotten about her.
Lol, if you think Sarah is that good looking, you dont get out much. She would be forgotten if she didnt keep herself in the news with these weird, sad escapades.

As far as good-looking women in politics go, Jill Biden is a lot better looking than Sarah IMO. Plus she has two masters' and a doctorate; she's an English teacher. And she has something Sarah will never have, guess what that is.

Reading about her at Wikipedia I liked thiis:
Since 1993, Biden has been an instructor at the Stanton/Wilmington campus of Delaware Technical & Community College.[14][11][8][19] There she teaches English composition and remedial writing, with an emphasis on instilling confidence in students.[20][11] She has said of teaching at a community college, "I feel like I can make a greater difference in their lives. I just love that population. It just feels really comfortable to me. I love the women who are coming back to school and getting their degrees because they're so focused."[11]
She's also been a reading specialist and history teacher for emotionally disturbed kids. Her whole teaching career she's spent in the public school system. She plans to keep teaching in Washington.

Surely you jest! Conceived out of wedlock means the parents weren't married when the child was conceived.

I never have thought she was anything BUT average in appearance and when she opens her mouth and starts talking she is actually ugly imo.

I'm starting to think these neoCONs are comparing her looks to their first dates and I imagine compared to livestock she IS hot.

LOL!!!
And for the record, everyone would not just go to Sarah Palin and talk. If people were that supportive, she would have won. I would for sure avoid talking to her. Some conservatives I know would avoid talking to her.

And so...why can't you call men and women who happen to be liberal men or women?

You say we are jealous () of Palin and it is hate based. Why would we be jealous when our candidate won. Look at you. You have more hatred in you than Palin does for non Christians.

Get over it.
