So, you support Palin because you think it’s condescending to “most of America” to speak against her? Your argument seems to have good intentions, since it attempts to take into account the position of “most people”, but you are making fairly large assumptions in your portrayal of the ideas of average Americans. You maintain your supposed “New York” view even after you try to acknowledge the perspective of most people, who you seem to assume are ignorantly conservative. It seems that you realize Palin’s follies but refuse to believe them, I guess, because you seem to believe her appeal needs to be acknowledged, but you don’t realize that the aspects of the majority you are putting forth are in fact as condescending and insulting as those that take offense to Palin because of her overwhelming ignorance and conservatism. You assume that no one else, including the “New York liberals” and the “Heartland Conservatives” can see things three-dimensionally, but that is a dangerous assumption. The idea that Palin can (and partisan politics can’t ) solve problems because of her appeal to the worst sides of people is astounding, because the fact is she is painfully inept and everyone should, at least, have that inkling, and her supporters are dangerously disregarding this ineptitude and ignorance as not important. Her vast disqualification for any place of power must be pointed out.

I would love to have a beer with Obama. I’m still not going to vote for him though.

*sigh*

Anyone who knows ANYTHING about Russia knows that we can’t afford to go to war with them. she referenced the Cold War in her interview with Gibson- well, the reason there was a Cold War was because world leaders knew that getting into a nuclear altercation was not something the world could handle.

But yea, I don’t dislike her because she’s a hockey mom, or a moose hunter. I dislike her immensely because she is terribly, painfully unqualified to be a VP candidate, and she had the hubris (Gibson was right to use that word) to think she could handle. And woman couldn’t even wikipedia the Russia/Georgia conflict before going on a national interview.
