There is a story floating around in my neck of the woods. Don't know if it's true or not. Remember during the campaign when both candidates were called back to Washington due to a crisis. McCain went, Obama did not go. I'm told that they read the numbers to McCain as to what kind of financial mess the country is in and at that point he decided he didn't want to job. BUT he was already running. So, he went out and blew the campaign. I honestly can't recall if this was before or after he chose Palin. But she COULD have been his deliberate losing strategy.
Nevertheless, what I see with Palin is someone who just isn't on the same level or footing with the rest. Hillary definitely can hold her own. MO can definitely hold her own as well. Palin comes across like a sorority girl. If the issues of this thread is 'trust' then Palin definitely has some qualities that do not generate trust.
So are you saying that the only way you will take a woman seriously is if she is bat shit ugly and overweight?
