>If you are still talking about the story in the Times, it was a news story, not an opinion piece. It reported facts. (And if they weren't in fact facts, we will certainly hear about it -- loudly). It reported very specific things Sarah Palin has done in Alaska. To me I found them extremely disquieting in someone who might one day be President. Please note I don't say things like that about John McCain, even though I disagree with many (most?) of his positions. I don't think the Republic will be in the hands of a gross incompetent if he is elected. But Palin, she scares me more the more I learn about her.

McCain's active role in goading Georgia to bite Russia, his frequent trips there... just doesn't sound like a peacemaker at all.
