I will post on this at more length later

All I wanted to say now is this: everyone says that Sarah Palin was unknown to 99% of Americans until a few days ago. Well, I'm not even American and I had heard of her weeks ago, and looked her up. And I liked what I saw. Which is why I was so pleased when John McCain dropped the bombshell. I was, if you remember, terrified that he would be strong-armed into adopting Mitt Romney as running mate.

99% of *any* political candidate is unknown to Americans until they are running for some huge office on more than a state level. I don't understand why not knowing of her is a some big deal to people -_-

Personally I am actually ok with her. I don't agree 100% no, but it's not like I've ever in my life agreed 100% with a canidate. I do think though there might have been stronger choices, but I don't think she's the kiss of death people act like she is (and I notice the people acting like she's the kiss of death tend to be people who were staunchly against McCain anyway!)
