I have a different take on it. I think she has a lot to say about the issues and has alot more knowledge than she is being given credit for, including her running mate. I think she probably has ideals more in keeping with what most Americans feel and should be given some freedom to be SP. However, TPTB are afraid to let he have her say which is a big mistake. she would endear people to her just as she did at the convention.
She does have a lot to say. Unfortunately, whenever she is allowed to speak off the cuff, she messes up.
She has only been on the scene for a few weeks and she is already amassing webpages full of blunders that are equal only to Bush's infamous Bushisms.
These are only a few of the better ones:
"That's exactly what we're going to do in a Palin and McCain administration." --
Sarah Palin, elevating herself to the top of the ticket, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, Sept. 18, 2008
"Oil and coal? Of course, it's a fungible commodity and they don't flag, you know, the molecules, where it's going and where it's not. But in the sense of the Congress today, they know that there are very, very hungry domestic markets that need that oil first. So, I believe that what Congress is going to do, also, is not to allow the export bans to such a degree that it's Americans that get stuck to holding the bag without the energy source that is produced here, pumped here. It's got to flow into our domestic markets first." --

I wish we were comparing the VP's experience for both sides, instead of the lack of experience that one of the VP candidates has vs. one of the Presidential candidate.
