>>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.

Well, I didn't say "McCain is my man." One of the reasons I am for Obama is I don't think he would continue the confrontational posture of the last 8 years, and McCain probably would.
